When the label indicates two pounds per gallon, what is the equivalent per quart?

• A. 1/2 per quart when label says two pounds per gallon
• B. 2 pounds per gallon equals 1/8 pound per quart
• C. 1/4 pound per quart equals 1 gallon
• D. 3/4 pound per quart

Answer: (A)

When converting from pounds per gallon to pounds per quart, use the fact that one gallon equals four quarts. If there are two pounds per gallon, that amount is distributed across four quarts, so per quart you have 2 pounds ÷ 4 quarts = 0.5 pounds per quart (1/2 pound per quart). This is the correct per-quart value. The other options don’t fit because they misapply the four-quart-per-gallon relationship.
