Math Talk Image: Pitcher and Jars 1 (gallons, quarts, pints)


half-full 1-gallon pitcher, two 1-qt jars and three 1-pt jars

Can you fill the two quart jars from the juice that's left in the pitcher? What if instead you use the juice to fill some of the pint jars - how many of those could you fill? Or, if you shared all of the juice in the picture evenly between the five jars, how much would be in each jar?

What do you notice?
