Sally needs 6 gallons of water, but she only has a 2 quart pitcher. How many times does she need to fill it up to make 6 gallons?

4 quarts = 1 gallon

She needs to fill the pitcher two times for each gallon.

6 * 2 = ?

To determine how many times Sally needs to fill her 2 quart pitcher in order to get 6 gallons of water, we first need to convert the units to a common measurement. Since a gallon is equivalent to 4 quarts, we can calculate the number of times she needs to fill up the pitcher by dividing 6 gallons by 2 quarts.

Step 1: Convert 6 gallons to quarts:
Since 1 gallon equals 4 quarts, multiply 6 gallons by 4 quarts/gallon:
6 gallons × 4 quarts/gallon = 24 quarts

Step 2: Determine the number of times the 2 quart pitcher needs to be filled:
Divide the total number of quarts (24 quarts) by the capacity of the pitcher (2 quarts):
24 quarts ÷ 2 quarts/pitcher = 12

Therefore, Sally needs to fill up the 2 quart pitcher 12 times in order to get 6 gallons of water.
