Since cups are mentioned, I assume you are dealing with US units.
In US,
1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints
1 quart = 2 pints
1 pint = 2 cups = 16 fl. oz.
So 9 pints make 9*2=18 cups.
or 9/2 = 4 1/2 quarts
or 9/8=1.125 gallons.

In imperial measure,
1 mile = 1760 years = 8 furlongs
1 furlong = 220 yards
1 yard = 3 feet
Each runner runs
880 yards
= 4 furlongs (used in horse racing)
= half a mile.
Total distance covered by 4 runners
= 4 * 0.5 mile
= 2 miles.
