Answer:

32 cups of water is needed to fill a 2 gallon water tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the amount of water to be filled in the fish tank = 2 gallons

The utensil to measure water   =  a measuring cup

Now, as we know:

1 quart  = 0.25 gallons

⇒ 4 pints =  1  gallons

⇒ 8 pints =  2 gallons

Also, 1 pint  = 0.5 quart

⇒ 2 pints =  1 quarts

⇒ 8 pints =  4 quarts

⇒ 16 pints =  8 quarts

Again,  1 cup = 0.5 pint

⇒ 2 cup  = 1  pint

⇒ 32 cup  = 16  pints

Hence, 32 cups of water is needed to fill a 2 gallon water tank.
