Q. A 3-gallon bottle of bleach costs $17.04. What is the price per quart?$____
Convert Gallons to Quarts: First, we need to determine how many quarts are in 3 gallons since the price given is for 3 gallons and we want to find the price per quart.We know that 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts.So, 3 gallons is equal to 3×4 quarts.
Calculate Total Quarts: Now, let's calculate the number of quarts in 3 gallons.3×4=12 quarts.So, there are 12 quarts in 3 gallons.
Find Price per Quart: Next, we need to divide the total cost of the 3-gallon bottle of bleach by the number of quarts to find the price per quart.The total cost is $17.04, and we have 12 quarts.So, the price per quart is $17.04÷12.
Division Calculation: Let's do the division to find the price per quart.$17.04÷12=$1.42 (rounded to two decimal places). So, the price per quart is $1.42.
