\begin{tabular}{l} A recipe for lemonade tells how many quarts of water to mix with lemon powder. \\ Lavelle has \( 3 \frac{1}{4} \) gallons of water to make lemonade. How many quarts of water \\ does Lavelle have? ( 1 gal \( =4 \mathrm{qt} \) ) \\ \hline \( 12 \frac{1}{4} \)\end{tabular}

To convert gallons to quarts, we can use the conversion factor where 1 gallon equals 4 quarts. Lavelle has \( 3 \frac{1}{4} \) gallons of water. First, we convert this mixed number into an improper fraction: \( 3 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4} \) gallons. Now, multiplying by the conversion factor: \[ \frac{13}{4} \, \text{gallons} \times 4 \, \frac{\text{quarts}}{\text{gallon}} = 13 \, \text{quarts}. \] Lavelle has 13 quarts of water to make lemonade!
