To find: the number of cups in 2 gallons.

Answer to Problem 27PT

There are 32 cups in 2 gallons.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Calculation:

Each gallon has 4 quarts, each quart has 2 pints and each pint has 2 cups.

So, in 1 gallon there are $4\times 2\times 2=16$ cups.

Divide the number of cups by 16.

  $2=\frac{c}{16}$

Multiplying with 16,

  $\begin{array}{l}2\times 16=\frac{c}{16}\times 16\\ c=32\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Hence, there are 32 cups in 2 gallons.
