Question 63

There are 384 ounces in 3 gallons.

To find the number of ounces in 3 gallons, we can use the conversion factor that 1 gallon is equal to 128 ounces. Therefore, multiplying 128 ounces by 3 gives us 384 ounces.

A) 256 oz

This option is incorrect because 256 ounces does not represent the correct conversion from gallons to ounces. Since 1 gallon equals 128 ounces, the total for 3 gallons cannot be only 256 ounces.

B) 384 oz

This option is correct as it accurately reflects the conversion of 3 gallons to ounces. By multiplying the 128 ounces in 1 gallon by 3, we get 384 ounces, confirming this choice is the right answer.

C) 512 oz

This option is incorrect because it suggests that 3 gallons would yield 512 ounces. When we calculate the ounces by multiplying 128 ounces per gallon by 3 gallons, the result is significantly lower than 512.

D) 128 oz

This option is also incorrect as it only accounts for 1 gallon rather than 3 gallons. The total number of ounces for 3 gallons is much greater than just 128 ounces.

Conclusion

The correct answer, 384 ounces, is derived from accurately applying the conversion factor for gallons to ounces. All other options fail to represent the correct amount, either by miscalculating the total or by only representing a single gallon. Thus, option B stands out as the only valid answer in this context.
