unit conversion table for quarts and gallons

Answer

For 7 gallons, the equivalent is 28 quarts. For 60 quarts, the equivalent is 15 gallons.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Identify the conversion factor: The table shows that $4$ quarts are equal to $1$ gallon. This means the conversion rate is $4 \text{ quarts} = 1 \text{ gallon}$. To convert gallons to quarts, multiply by $4$. To convert quarts to gallons, divide by $4$.
  1. Calculate the missing quarts for 7 gallons: Given $7$ gallons, we use the conversion factor $1 \text{ gallon} = 4 \text{ quarts}$. Therefore, $7 \text{ gallons} \times 4 \text{ quarts/gallon} = 28 \text{ quarts}$.
  1. Calculate the missing gallons for 60 quarts: Given $60$ quarts, we use the conversion factor $4 \text{ quarts} = 1 \text{ gallon}$. Therefore, $60 \text{ quarts} \div 4 \text{ quarts/gallon} = 15 \text{ gallons}$.
