Step-by-step explanation:
Giveen:
Briley went to the grocery store to buy chocolate ice cream for her party She needed to purchase 5 gallons
She was disappointed the store only had 2 boxes that weighed a gallon.
She bought every other container of chocolate ice cream the store had.
She bought 4 pint containers and 9 quart containers.
Now, to find the ice cream quantity Briley purchased. And she have enough ice cream for her party or not.
Briley purchased 2 boxes that weighed = 1 gallon.
And the containers of 4 pint and 9 quart.
So, by conversion factor we convert pint and quart into gallon:
1 pint = 0.125 gallon
4 pint = [tex]0.125\times 4[/tex]
4 pint = 0.5 gallon.
1 quart = 0.25 gallon
9 quart = 0.25 [tex]\times[/tex] 9
9 quart = 2.25 gallons.
Now, to add all the quantities of ice cream to get the ice cream Briley purchased:
[tex]1\ gallon+0.5\ gallon +2.25\ gallons[/tex]
[tex]=3.75\ gallons.[/tex]
Thus, Briley purchased 3.75 gallons of ice cream.
Now, to get whether she have enough ice cream for her party.
Briley needed to purchase ice cream = 5 gallons.
And, Briley purchase ice cream from grocery store = 3.75 gallons.
So, the quantity of ice cream Briley get which is 3.75 gallons is not enough and it is less than 5 gallons.
Hence, she didn't have enough ice cream for her party.
Therefore, Briley purchased 3.75 gallons of ice cream.
