Answer 1

Hint:
In this type of question we first calculate the number of quarts in the unit \[1\] gallon and then we multiply this with the quantity of gallon that we want to convert into quarts. As in this question it is we have to convert \[10\] gallons.

Complete step by step solution:
Since we know that \[1{ gallon = 4 quarts}\]
Now to convert the gallons to quarts
Let the number of gallons that we want to convert be \[x\]
Then,
\[quarts{ = }x \times {\text{quarts in 1 gallon}}\]
According to question,
\[x=10\] and the quarts in unit gallon is \[4\]
\[\Rightarrow Quarts=10\times 4\]
\[\Rightarrow 40\]
Thus we have converted the given gallons into quarts.

Hence, \[10{ gallons = 40 quarts}\]
