B 16 cups
C 32 cups
Oh for heaven's sake, go metric already !!
If I recall the ancient times, 1 gallon = 4 quarts, not .4 quarts (I assume a typo)
1 gallon = 4 quarts
= 4(2) or 8 pints
= 8(2) or 16 cups
so gallons = ..... cups
1 pint = 2 cups
1 quart = 2 pints = 2 ∙ 2 cups = 4 cups
1 gallon = 4 quarts = 4 ∙ 4 cups = 16 cups
2 gallons = 2 ∙ 16 cups = 32 cups
To find out how many cups of punch Mrs. Tran made, we need to convert the 2 gallons of punch into cups.
First, we need to know the conversion factors:
1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 quart = 2 pints
1 pint = 2 cups
So, to convert gallons to cups, we can follow these steps:
1. Start with the given amount: 2 gallons.
2. Since 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts, we can multiply 2 gallons by 4 quarts/gallon to get 8 quarts. (2 gallons x 4 quarts/gallon = 8 quarts)
3. Since 1 quart is equal to 2 pints, we can multiply 8 quarts by 2 pints/quart to get 16 pints. (8 quarts x 2 pints/quart = 16 pints)
4. Finally, since 1 pint is equal to 2 cups, we can multiply 16 pints by 2 cups/pint to get the final answer. (16 pints x 2 cups/pint = 32 cups)
Therefore, Mrs. Tran made 32 cups of punch. So the correct answer is C) 32 cups.
