Convert 5 gallons to quarts:
- 5 gallons × 4 = 20 quarts
Thus, 5 gallons corresponds to 20 quarts by multiplying the volume by 4.
Conversion Example
- Convert 3 gallons to quarts:
- Start with 3 gallons
- Multiply 3 × 4 = 12
- Result: 3 gallons = 12 quarts
- Convert 7.5 gallons to quarts:
- Begin with 7.5 gallons
- Multiply 7.5 × 4 = 30
- Answer: 7.5 gallons converts to 30 quarts
- Convert 0.25 gallons to quarts:
- Take 0.25 gallons
- Multiply 0.25 × 4 = 1
- So, 0.25 gallons equals 1 quart
- Convert 12 gallons to quarts:
- Start with 12 gallons
- Multiply 12 × 4 = 48
- Therefore, 12 gallons are 48 quarts
