No because he has 2 cups. It doesn't equal a gallon. 1 gallon = 16 cups.
I mean 4 cups not 2 cups
thank you

To determine whether John's statement is reasonable, we need to understand the relationship between cups and gallons and look at the conversion factor between them.
1 gallon is equal to 16 cups. If John has 4 cups of fruit juice, we can divide 4 by 16 to see how many gallons he actually has.
4 cups ÷ 16 cups/gallon = 0.25 gallons
So, John actually has 0.25 gallons of fruit juice, not a whole gallon.
Based on this calculation, we can conclude that John's statement is not reasonable. He mistakenly claimed to have a gallon of fruit juice when he actually has only 0.25 gallons.
