"if there are 4 quarts in a gallon and 2 pints in a quart and two cups in a pint than how many cups are in a gallon? show your calculation or explain how you arrived at your answer."i know the answer but i don't know how to explain it. brainliest to the best answer! (≧▽≦)

Inside a gallon is 4 quarts so then multiply 2 for every pint/quart then multiply 2 for every cup/pint which gets you to 16 cups. That's probably really confusing. Sorry.

Ok, so what your looking for is product of a multiplication problem aka: the answer. This is what your math should look like:

G= Gallon, Q=Quart, p=pint, Cups= Cups of water

So you must break everything down to find your answer. Since there are 4 Quarts in a gallon you have to multiply , because there is 2 pints in each Quart.

or 8 pints.

Next to find how many cups of water there is in a gallon you must multiply the 8 pints by 2 because just like Quarts and pints, there is 2 cups of water in each pint.

So there is 16 Cups of Water in 1 Gallon. Let me know if you get it wrong, cause if u let me know I promise I will come back and rework my math. Thanks :-)

2.83941151 would be the answer you're looking for! : )

i think the correct option is the second option.
