Ms. Sue
1 gallon = 16 cups
The directions make 18 cups.
1 pint = 2 cups
Solve this proportion.
2/18 = x/2
18x = 4
x = 0.222 cups of concentrate

2 cups = 16 fluid ounces
1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces
1 pint = 16 fluid ounces
x/16 = 16/128
Solve for x.
1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces
1 pint = 16 fluid ounces
x/16 = 16/128
Solve for x.
