    27 gallons, 2 quarts

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The measurements are given in gallons and quarts. Lets convert everything to quarts.

    We know:

    4 quarts = 1 gallons

    So,

    Rain Barrel Capacity = 47*4 + 1 = 189 quarts

    Jiko uses 12 gallon 2 quart to water flower garden = 12*4 + 2 = 50 quarts

    Jiko uses 7 gallons 1 quarts to water trees = 7*4 + 1 = 29 quarts

    He used up = 50 + 29 = 79 quarts

    Remaining Water in Rain Barrel = 189 - 79 = 110 quarts

    In gallons and quarts:

    27 * 4 = 108 quarts

    So, water left = 27 gallons, 2 quarts
