Question

One fourth of a gallon of lemonade is placed in a pitcher. This occupies one third of the pitcher. What quantity of liquid in gallons can be stored in this pitcher?

Answer 1

3/4 of a gallon in the pitcher


because if 1/4 fills 1/3 of the pitcher then 3 , 1/4 of a gallon can fill the pitcher , so 3*1/4 = 3/4

Answer 2

Lets assume x is a full pitcher.

The 1/4 of a gallon occupies 1/3x (or 1/3 of the pitcher)

To get a full pitcher, you would multiply x by 3 (or 1/4 • 3)

FINAL ANSWER: 3/4 Gallons
