Question 38

There are 116 ounces in 3 5/8 quarts.

To convert quarts to ounces, one must know that there are 32 ounces in a quart. Therefore, multiplying 3 5/8 quarts by 32 ounces per quart gives a total of 116 ounces.

A) 32

This option represents the number of ounces in a single quart, not in 3 5/8 quarts. Since the question asks for the total in 3 5/8 quarts, this option is incorrect.

B) 116

This is the correct answer. By converting 3 5/8 quarts into ounces, we first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction (29/8 quarts) and then multiply by 32 ounces per quart, resulting in 116 ounces.

C) 96

This option suggests a total that reflects the ounces for a smaller quantity of quarts. Specifically, 96 ounces corresponds to 3 quarts, thus failing to account for the additional 5/8 quart in the conversion.

D) 928/8

While this option simplifies to 116, it is presented in an improper fraction format. This may confuse some, as the question expects a straightforward numerical answer. Nevertheless, it does not represent a clear understanding of the conversion process.

Conclusion

The correct calculation confirms that 3 5/8 quarts is equal to 116 ounces, making option B the right choice. Options A and C misrepresent the total ounces for the given quarts, while option D, despite being mathematically correct, does not clearly express the answer in a conventional format.
