7 gal 1 pt - 2 gal 7 pt =

4 gal 2 pt

Step-by-step explanation:

8 pt = 1 gal

7 gal 1 pt = 57 pt

2 gal 7 pt = 23 pt

57 pt - 23 pt = 34 pt

34 pt = 4 gal 2 pt

4 gal 2 pt

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you have to convert 7 gal to pts.

you need to know that there are 8 pts in 1 gal.

8 x 7

= 56

then you have to add the remaining pt.

+ 1

= 57

next, you have to convert 2 gal to pint.

8 x 2

= 16 pt

now add the 7 remaining pts.

+ 7

= 23

your problem now looks like this:

57 pt. - 23 pt. = 34 pt.

now, you have to convert pts back into gal.

34/8 = 4 gal 2 pt.

your answer is 4 gal and 2 pt
