Answer:
There are 16 cups in a gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many cups are in a gallon you have to convert 2 cups per pint to cups per quart, then multiply the amount of cups per quart by 4 quarts per gallon
Notice that 2 cups in a pint can be written as 2cups/pint and 2 pints in a quart as 2pints/quart
If there are 2 cups in a pint and 2 pints in a quart then the amount of cups in a quart is:
[tex](\frac{2 cups}{pint} )(\frac{2 pint}{quart}) = \frac{4cups}{quart}[/tex]
If there are 4 cups in a quart and 4 quarts in a gallon then the amount of cups in a gallon is:
[tex](\frac{4cups}{quart})(\frac{4 quart}{gallon}) = \frac{16cups}{gallon}[/tex]
