Converting Volume Units: (30 gallons 3 quarts 1 pint) × 5
When working with volume measurements, it's essential to understand how to convert between different units. In this article, we'll explore how to calculate the product of (30 gallons 3 quarts 1 pint) and 5.
Breaking Down the Units
Before we dive into the calculation, let's break down the units involved:
- Gallons: A unit of volume, primarily used in the United States, equal to 128 fluid ounces or 3.785 liters.
- Quarts: A unit of volume, equal to 32 fluid ounces or 0.946 liters (approximately 1 liter).
- Pints: A unit of volume, equal to 16 fluid ounces or 0.568 liters (approximately half a liter).
Converting to a Common Unit
To simplify the calculation, let's convert the mixed units to a common unit, such as pints. We know that:
- 1 gallon = 8 quarts
- 1 quart = 2 pints
So, we can convert the mixed units as follows:
- 30 gallons = 30 × 8 quarts/gallon = 240 quarts
- 3 quarts = 3 × 2 pints/quart = 6 pints
- 1 pint (no conversion needed)
Now, let's add up the pints:
240 quarts × 2 pints/quart = 480 pints
- 6 pints = 486 pints
- 1 pint = 487 pints
Multiplying by 5
Now that we have the mixed units converted to a common unit (pints), we can multiply by 5:
487 pints × 5 = 2435 pints
Final Answer
The product of (30 gallons 3 quarts 1 pint) and 5 is 2435 pints.
