We are asked to express 8 gallons in quarts.
8 gallons= quarts
To do so, we will use the fact that 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts. Let's write this relationship as a unit ratio.
4 qt/1gal
To perform the conversion, we need to multiply 8 gallons by the unit ratio or its reciprocal. Remember, we want to arrange this ratio such that every unit we do not want gets canceled out and only the unit that we want will remain.
We got that 8 gallons is equal to 32 quarts.
8 gallons=32 quarts
