half of a gallon is a half gallon. half of a half gallon is a quart. half of a quart is a pint. half of a pint is a cup. a cup is what fraction of a quart? Is the answer 1/4?
Right!
thank you very much!
No, the answer is not 1/4.
A quart is equal to 4 cups.
So, a cup is 1/4 (or one-fourth) of a quart.
To find out how many cups are in a quart, we need to establish a relationship between the two units. Since we know that half of a gallon is a half-gallon and half of a half-gallon is a quart, we can deduce that a quart is equal to one-fourth of a gallon.
Now, let's focus on the relationship between a quart and a cup. We know that half of a quart is a pint and half of a pint is a cup. Therefore, a cup is equal to one-fourth of a pint.
Putting these two relationships together, we can conclude that a cup is equal to one-fourth of a quart. So, your answer is correct. A cup is 1/4 or one-fourth of a quart.
