Pancake Palace puts a pint of maple syrup on each one of their 16 tables. The owner is filling the syrup bottles before the restaurant opens. If the bottles are half full, how many quarts would he need to fill the bottles?

64 quarts of maple syrup needed

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 2 quarts in a 1 pint. Therefore, since there are a total of 16 tables and each one has 1 pint, then there are a total of 16 pints in the restaurant. If we multiply this by 2 we get the total amount of quarts of maple syrup in all of the tables

16 * 2 = 32 quarts of maple syrup

Since the bottles are only half full we need to multiply this amount by 2 in order to get the total syrup needed to have all of the bottles filled completely.

32 * 2 = 64 quarts of maple syrup needed
