I'm assuming the pail holds 6 3/4 (not 634) gallons of water.

1 gallon= 16 cups

Multiply total gallons by cups per 1 gallon.

= 6 3/4 cups * 16 cups/gallon
convert mixed number to improper fraction

= 27/4 * 16
multiply numerators

= (27*16)/4
multiply in parentheses

= 432/4

= 108 cups

ANSWER: There are 108 cups

Hope this helps! :)
