Three kinds of quarts are currently used: the liquid quart and dry quart of the US customary system and the imperial quart of the British imperial system. All are roughly equal to one liter. It is divided into two pints or four cups.

According to the question

In the beginning of the week , James has milk = 8 quarts.

As, 1 quarts = 4 cups

Therefore,

In the beginning of the week, James has milk = 8*4 cups

                                                                             = 32 cups

At the end of the week milk left = [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups

                                                     =  [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] cups

Cups of milk were consumed during the week = 32 - [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] cups

                                                                       = [tex]\frac{64-9}{2}[/tex]  cups

                                                                       =  [tex]\frac{55}{2}[/tex]  cups  or [tex]27\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups
