Parker let his neighbor tap his 20 sugar maple trees to obtain sap for making maple syrup. In return, his neighbor agreed to divide the maple syrup equally between himself, Parker, and 3 friends who would help to collect the sap. The sap was collected over a 30–day period during March and April. Parker was given 1.4 quarts of syrup, but he wondered if he had been cheated. He learned that each sugar maple tree gives approximately 1 gallon of sap every 5 days and that 40 gallons of sap must be boiled down to obtain 1 gallon of maple syrup. Given this information, how many quarts of maple syrup should have been given to Parker? quarts
