1 gallons = 16 cups
16*8= 128

To find out how much punch will be left over at the end of the party, we need to calculate the total amount of punch that will be consumed by the guests.
Given:
- The host has 8 gallons of punch
- Each guest is estimated to drink 2 cups of punch
First, we need to convert the number of cups to gallons. Since there are 16 cups in a gallon, we divide the number of cups by 16:
2 cups ÷ 16 cups/gallon = 0.125 gallons
Now, we find the total amount of punch that will be consumed by the guests:
20 guests × 0.125 gallons/guest = 2.5 gallons
Therefore, if the host's estimate is correct, there will be 8 gallons - 2.5 gallons = 5.5 gallons of punch left over at the end of the party.
