Question

A container holds 76 cups of water. how much is this in gallons? write your answer as a whole number or mixed number in simplest form. include the correct unit in your answer

Answer 1

A cup is 8 ounces.  8 x 76 = 608.  So you have 608 ounces.  Now in 1 gallon, there are 128 ounces.  So there are 4.75 gallons. Depending on your teacher, the might want the answer 5, since you "theoretically" can't have .75 of a full gallon.

Answer 2

4.75 or 4 3/4 US liquid gallons
