Question

Convert from gallons to cups.
Hint: There are 16 cups in 1 gallon.
4 3/4 gallons = ___ cups

Answer 1

To convert 4 3/4 gallons to cups, first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

1. Convert 4 3/4 to an improper fraction:
\[
4 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{4 \times 4 + 3}{4} = \frac{16 + 3}{4} = \frac{19}{4}
\]

2. Now, since there are 16 cups in 1 gallon, to convert gallons to cups, multiply by 16:
\[
\text{Cups} = \left(\frac{19}{4} \text{ gallons}\right) \times 16 \text{ cups/gallon}
\]

3. Perform the multiplication:
\[
\frac{19}{4} \times 16 = \frac{19 \times 16}{4} = \frac{304}{4} = 76
\]

Thus, 4 3/4 gallons is equal to **76 cups**.
