Rachel buys
1
gallon of milk. Her sister Abby uses
1
1
2

3
cups of the milk in a different recipe.
Select all of the true statements below.
A.
Rachel's mother uses more milk than her sister Abby uses.
B.
There are
56
fluid ounces of milk left.
C.
There are
9
cups of milk left.
D.
There is more than

4

gallon of milk left.
A. Rachel's mother uses more milk than her sister Abby uses.
B. There are 56 fluid ounces of milk left.
C. There are 9 cups of milk left.
D. There is more than 1/4 gallon of milk left.
To find the correct answer, let's calculate the amount of milk left step by step.
1 gallon of milk is equal to 4 quarts.
So Rachel initially has 4 quarts of milk.
Abby uses 1 1/2 quarts of milk in a recipe.
Therefore, the amount of milk left after Abby is 4 - 1 1/2 = 4 - 3/2 = 1 1/2 quarts.
Rachel's mother then uses 3 cups of milk in a different recipe.
Since 1 quart is equal to 4 cups, Rachel's mother uses 3/4 quarts of milk.
The amount of milk left after Rachel's mother is 1 1/2 quarts - 3/4 quarts = 3/2 - 3/4 = 6/4 - 3/4 = 3/4 quarts.
Now, let's answer the statements:
A. Rachel's mother uses more milk than her sister Abby uses.
False. Abby uses 1 1/2 quarts, which is more than Rachel's mother using 3/4 quarts. So A is false.
B. There are 56 fluid ounces of milk left.
To convert quarts to fluid ounces, 1 quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces.
So, the amount of milk left is 1 1/2 * 32 = 48 fluid ounces.
Therefore, B is false.
C. There are 9 cups of milk left.
False. There are 3/4 quarts of milk left, and since 1 quart is equal to 4 cups, 3/4 quarts is equal to 3/4 * 4 = 3 cups. So C is false.
D. There is more than 1/4 gallon of milk left.
False. 1/4 gallon is equivalent to 1 quart, and there is only 3/4 quarts left. So D is false.
E. There is more than 1/2 gallon of milk left.
False. 1/2 gallon is equivalent to 2 quarts, and there is only 3/4 quarts left. So E is false.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. False
B. False
C. False
D. False
E. False
