$14 \frac{1}{2} gal = 58 qt$ $14 1/2 "gal"="58 qt"$

$4 qt=1 gal$ $"4 qt=1 gal"$

Convert $14 \frac{1}{2}$ $14 1/2$ into an improper fraction. $\frac{((2 \times 14) + 1)}{2} = \frac{29}{2} gal$ $(((2xx14)+1))/2=29/2 "gal"$

Multiply the improper fraction times the conversion factor with quarts in the numerator.

$29/2cancel"gal"xx(4"qt")/(1cancel"gal")="58 qt"$
