If there are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup, 2 cups in 1 pint, 2 pints in 1 quart, and 4 quarts in 1 gallon, how many fluid ounces are in 1 gallon?
To find out how many fluid ounces are in 1 gallon, we need to start by converting each unit to fluid ounces.
1 cup = 8 fluid ounces (given)
2 cups = 2 * 8 = 16 fluid ounces
1 pint = 2 cups = 2 * 16 = 32 fluid ounces
2 pints = 2 * 32 = 64 fluid ounces
1 quart = 2 pints = 2 * 64 = 128 fluid ounces
4 quarts = 4 * 128 = 512 fluid ounces
So, there are 512 fluid ounces in 1 gallon.
