Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. There are 8 ounces in one cup.
2. There are 16 cups in one gallon.
3. We need to find the number of fluid ounces in 2.5 gallons of water.

STEP 2

1. Convert gallons to cups.
2. Convert cups to fluid ounces.

STEP 3

Convert 2.5 gallons to cups. Since there are 16 cups in one gallon, multiply 2.5 gallons by 16 cups per gallon.
2.5 gallons×16cupsgallon=40 cups2.5 \text{ gallons} \times 16 \frac{\text{cups}}{\text{gallon}} = 40 \text{ cups}

STEP 4

Convert 40 cups to fluid ounces. Since there are 8 ounces in one cup, multiply 40 cups by 8 ounces per cup.
40 cups×8ouncescup=320 ounces40 \text{ cups} \times 8 \frac{\text{ounces}}{\text{cup}} = 320 \text{ ounces}
