A. 218 qt
B. 2 and 1 eighth qt
C. 1612 qt
D. 16 and 1 half qt
E. 33 qt
F. 66 qt

Answer :

To convert gallons to quarts, it's important to know the conversion factor between these two measurements.

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts.

  2. Calculation: You need to multiply the number of gallons by the conversion factor to find out how many quarts there are.

    [tex]814 \text{ gallons} \times 4 \text{ quarts/gallon}[/tex]

  3. Result: This equals

    [tex]814 \times 4 = 3256 \text{ quarts}[/tex]

  4. Conclusion: Therefore, there are 3256 quarts in 814 gallons.

In the multiple-choice options provided, none of them list 3256 quarts, so if the answer choice is correct, ensure the question or the choices have been accurately transcribed.

Always double-check the choices and the question to make sure there is no misunderstanding or miscalculation. This problem illustrates a basic conversion in the customary system, often taught in middle school mathematics. It reinforces an understanding of measurement conversions, which is a valuable mathematical skill.
