To find out how many quarts of strawberries would weigh 1/4 ton, we first need to convert 1/4 ton into pounds. Since 1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds, we can calculate:
1/4 ton = 2,000 pounds / 4 = 500 pounds
Now that we know we are dealing with 500 pounds, we can determine how many quarts of strawberries this would equate to. Each quart of strawberries weighs 2 pounds, so we simply divide the total weight in pounds by the weight of one quart:
500 pounds ÷ 2 pounds/quart = 250 quarts
Therefore, it would take 250 quarts of strawberries to equal 1/4 ton.
