Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Elyse needs 3 gallons of water to mix a fruit drink, but she has a 1-cup measuring cup. She knows that there are 4 cups in 1 quart, and 4 quarts in 1 gallon.

Elyse can use the unit rate. First she can multiply 4 cups in a quart by 4 quarts per gallon to find that there are 16 cups in 1 gallon. She can then multiply 3 gallons by 16 cups per gallon to determine that she will need 48 cups of water to mix the fruit drink.
