Question

convert 3.5 gallons into cups. (1gal = 16cups) 56 cups 19.5 cups 0.21875 cups 48 cups

Explanation:

Step1: Identify conversion factor

Given \( 1\,\text{gal} = 16\,\text{cups} \), we need to convert \( 3.5\,\text{gallons} \) to cups.

Step2: Multiply gallons by conversion factor

To find the number of cups, multiply the number of gallons (\( 3.5 \)) by the number of cups in one gallon (\( 16 \)):
\( 3.5 \times 16 \)
Calculate \( 3.5 \times 16 \):
\( 3.5 \times 16 = (3 + 0.5) \times 16 = 3 \times 16 + 0.5 \times 16 = 48 + 8 = 56 \)

Answer:

56 cups (corresponding to the green option: 56 cups)
