See a solution process below:

There are 32 ounces in 1 quart, or:

$1 quart = 32 ounces$ $1" quart" = 32" ounces"$

We can find the number of ounces in 5 quarts by multiplying each side of the equation by $5$ $color(red)(5)$ giving:

$5 \times 1 quart = 5 \times 32 ounces$ $color(red)(5) xx 1" quart" = color(red)(5) xx 32" ounces"$

$5 quart = 160 ounces$ $5" quart" = 160" ounces"$

Therefore:

#5 quarts is greater than 159 fluid ounces
