Here are the solutions to the worksheet problems, step-by-step.
Part 1: Fill in the correct number for each statement
Using the chart at the top:
*
a. 1 gallon =
8 pints
*
b. 1 gallon =
4 quarts
*
c. 1 quart =
2 pints
*
d. 1 quart =
4 cups (Because 1 quart is 2 pints, and each pint is 2 cups, so $2 + 2 = 4$)
*
e. 1 pint =
2 cups
*
f. 1 gallon =
16 cups
Part 2: Circle the greater amount for each pair
*
g. 1 gallon (1 gallon = 4 quarts, which is more than 2 quarts)
*
h. 5 quarts (1 gallon = 4 quarts, so 5 quarts is more)
*
i. 4 cups (1 pint = 2 cups, so 4 cups is more)
*
j. 1 quart (1 quart = 4 cups, which is more than 2 cups)
*
k. 4 pints (1 quart = 2 pints, so 4 pints is more)
*
l. 2 quarts (1 quart = 2 pints, so 2 quarts = 4 pints, which is more than 2 pints)
Part 3: Circle the best answer for each question
*
m. 1 pint
* *Reasoning:* A gallon is huge (like a big pitcher) and a quart is still a lot (like a small bottle of milk). A pint (2 cups) is the smallest amount here and the most reasonable for a bowl of cereal, even if it's a big bowl!
*
n. 2 gallons
* *Reasoning:* Painting whole walls takes a lot of paint. Cups and quarts are too small. Gallons are used for big jobs like painting.
*
o. 1 gallon
* *Reasoning:*
* The puppy eats 1 cup in the morning + 1 cup in the evening =
2 cups per day.
* There are 7 days in a week.
* $2 \text{ cups} \times 7 \text{ days} = \mathbf{14 \text{ cups}}$.
* Look at the options:
* 1 pint = 2 cups (Too small)
* 1 quart = 4 cups (Too small)
* 1 gallon = 16 cups (This is very close to 14 cups).
* So, the answer is
1 gallon.
