Answer:

18 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there is 4 cups in a quart, we can turn 5 1/2 or 5.5 quarts into 22 cups:

5 1/2 or 5.5

( 5 x 4) + (0.5 x 4) = 22

Since we need to find how many cups were used, that is x. Because 22 cups is the total amount of cups and 4 is the amount remaining then the equation would look like this:

x + 4 = 22

Finally you solve to get:

x = 18 cups
18 cups, their is 22 cups in 5 1/2 quarts so 22-4 is 18
