Calculate Ketchup Distribution: First, we need to figure out how much ketchup each bottle will get if 2 gallons are divided among 15 bottles.
Convert Gallons to Quarts: To solve this, convert gallons to a more manageable unit. Since 1 gallon =4 quarts, 2 gallons =8 quarts. Now, divide 8 quarts by 15 bottles.
Convert Quarts to Gallons: Convert the quarts per bottle back to gallons, since 1 quart =0.25 gallons.
