Answer 18

i really dont understand this question

Answer 19

You have 156 cartons of milk a day

1 carton = 1 cup

C1 qt of milk = 4 cups

Answer 20

So \[156~\text{cartons} \cdot \frac{1 ~\text{cup}}{1~\text{carton}} \cdot \frac{1~\text{quart}}{4~\text{cups}}\]

Answer 21

You are being asked to convert cartons of milk \(\to\) quarts of milk. That is all you have to do.

Answer 22

ok so u cross multiply

Answer 23

Do you know how to solve by dimensional analysis?

Answer 24

no

Answer 25

What I wanted to do was get from the amount of cartons to the number off cups given (in the problem) then use a known conversion factor to get from the number of cups in a quart of milk.

You will see that the units cancel out, \[156~\cancel{\text{cartons}} \cdot \frac{1 ~\cancel{\text{cup}}}{1~\cancel{\text{carton}}} \cdot \frac{1~\text{quart}}{4~\cancel{\text{cups}}}\] And we will be left with the number of quarts.

Answer 26

39

Answer 27

Now we just multiply across, \[\frac{156(1)(1~\text{quart})}{(1)(4)(1)}\]

Answer 28

624

Answer 29

and yes, you end up with 39 quarts.

Answer 30

i do not know how you are getting these numbers. Reread my posts for a better understanding.

Answer 31

156 * 1*1/1*4 = 624

Answer 32

That is not correct..

156/4 \(\ne\) 624.

Answer 33

so the answer is 39 qt?

Answer 34

Yes, you are right.

Answer 35

thank you :)

Answer 36

No problem.

I think where you were getting 624 from was 156 * 4. but we were dividing instead of multiplying.

Answer 37

ya sorry

Answer 38

No problem:)
