Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale 1: Quarts/shift= 1 quart/32 ounces x 64 ounces/shift. Multiply the numerators(1 x 64 = 64). Multiply the denominators (32 x 1 = 32). 64/32 = 2 quarts.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale 1: Lbs lost/2 months = 1 lb/3500 cals x 300 cals/1 day x 7 days/1 week x 8 weeks/1. Multiply the numerators (1 x 300 x 7 x 8 = 16,800). Multiply the denominators (3500 x 1 x 1 x 2 = 3500). 16800/3500 = 4.8 (8/10 = 4/5) = 4 4/5 lbs.
