16 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Edgardo has a drink cooler that holds 4 gallons of water.

He is filling the cooler with a 1−quart container.

Question asked:

How many times will he have to fill the quart container to fill the cooler?

Solution:

Capacity of container = 1 quart

As we know:

1 quart = 0.25 gallon

Edgardo has to fill drink cooler having capacity of 4 gallons.

0.25 gallon is filled by filling the container = 1 time

1 gallon is filled by filling the container = times

4 gallons is filled by filling the container =

Thus, he will have to fill the quart container 16 times to fill the cooler.
