CUSTOMARY UNITS OF CAPACITY

Problem 1 :

72 gallons = ______ pt

Solution :

1 gallon = 4 quarts

1 quarts = 2 pints

gallon --> quart --> pint

Larger unit to the smaller unit, so we have to multiply.

72 should be multiplied by (4 x 2)

72 gallons = 72 x (4 x 2) pints

= 576 pints

Problem 2 :

72 gallons = ______ qt

Solution :

1 gallon = 4 quarts

gallon --> quart

Converting larger unit to the smaller unit, so we have to multiply by 4.

72 gallons = 72 x 4 qt

= 288 qt

Problem 3 :

52 cups = ______ gallon ___ cups

Solution :

1 ga = 4 qt 

1 qt = 2 pt

1 pt = 2 c

cups ---> pints --> quart --> gallon

Converting smaller unit to the larger unit, so we have to divide by (4 x 2 x 2)

= 52 / (4 x 2 x 2)

= 52 / 16

= 3 x 48 + 4

= 3 gallons and 4 cups

Problem 4 :

124 cups = ______ pt

Solution :

1 pt = 2 cups

We convert smaller unit to the larger unit, we have to divide by 2.

= 124/2

= 62 pt

Problem 5 :

148 pt = ______ qt

Solution :

1 quarts = 2 pints

We convert smaller unit to the larger unit, we have to divide by 2.

= 148/2

= 74 qt

Problem 6 :

17 gallon = ______ qt

Solution :

1 gallon = 4 quarts

We convert larger unit to the smaller unit. So, we have to multiply it by 4.

= 17 x 4

= 68 qt

Problem 7 :

84 qt = ___ gallons

Solution :

1 gallon = 4 quarts

We convert smaller unit to the larger unit. So, we have to divide it by 4.

= 84 / 4

= 21 gallons

Problem 8 :

90 qt = ___ gallons ____  qt

Solution :

1 gallon = 4 quarts

We convert smaller unit to the larger unit. So, we have to divide it by 4.

= 90 / 4

= 22 x 4 + 2

= 22 gallons 2 qt

Problem 9 :

69 pt = ___ gallons ____  pt

Solution :

1 gallon = 4 quarts

1 quart = 2 pints

We convert smaller unit to the larger unit. So, we have to divide it by (4 x 2)

= 69 / 8

= 8 x 8 + 5

= 8 gallons 5 pints

Problem 10 :

132 cups = ______ qt

Solution :

1 qt = 2 pints

1 pint = 2 cups

We convert smaller unit to the larger unit, we have to divide by (2 x 2)

= 132/4

= 33 qt

Problem 11 :

98 qt = ______pt

Solution :

1 qt = 2 pints

We convert larger unit to the smaller unit, we have to divide by 2.

= 98 x 2 pt

= 196 pt

Problem 12 :

51 gallon = ______qt

Solution :

1 gallon = 4 qt

We convert larger unit to the smaller unit, so we have to multiply by 4.

= 51 x 4

= 204 qt

Problem 13 :

81 cups = ______qt ___ cups

Solution :

1 qt = 2 pints

1 pint = 2 cups

We convert smaller unit to the larger unit, so we have to divide by (2 x 2).

= 81 / 4

= 20 x 4 + 1

= 20 qt 1 cup

Problem 14 :

37 qt = ______cups

Solution :

1 qt = 2 pints

1 pint = 2 cups

We convert larger unit to the smaller unit, so we have to multiply by (2 x 2).

= 37 x (2 x 2)

= 37 x 4 

= 148 cups

Problem 15 :

22 gallons  = ______pt

Solution :

1 gallon = 4 quart

1 quart = 2 pints

We convert larger unit to the smaller unit, so we have to multiply by (4 x 2).

= 22 x (4 x 2)

= 22 x 8

= 176 pt
