Question

9. Perform each of the following operations (2c = 1 pt, 2 pt = 1 qt, 4 qt = 1 gal):

a) 1 qt 1pt 1c
+ 1pt 1c

b) 1qt 1c
- 1pt 1c
c) 1 gal 3 qt 1c
- 4 qt 2c

Answer 1

So this is kind of annoying, but basically find the smallest unit (in this case, cups), and convert everything to that unit (e.g., 1qt + 1pt = (2pts + 1pt) = 3pts = 3(2)cups = 6 cups.

Then you can add/subtract the two. Does that make sense?

Answer 2

Thank you!!
