Simplify the ratio 3gal/24qt. Use the conversion 4 qt = 1 gal. I WILL GIVE A MEDAL TO THE FIRST PERSON TO ANSWER!! PLEASE I RLLY NEED HELP!

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

well, there are two ways to approach this. we could convert 3 gal to quarts or 24 quarts to gallons let's convert 3 gal to quarts. if 1 gal is 4 quarts, then how many quarts is 3 gallons?

OpenStudy (jaylelile):

12

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

great! so, we can rewrite the ratio as 12/24 quarts, right? so how can we simplify 12/24?

OpenStudy (jaylelile):

1/2? It can't be that easy... it's math... lol

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yup! you're done! the ratio is 1/2
