### Challenge: Order the Steps to Convert Gallons to Cups

To convert from gallons to cups, you can follow these ordered steps:

1. **Find cups (c) that equals 1 gallon (gal). The unit ratio.**
(1 gallon = 16 cups)

2. **Set up the proportion.**
(If 1 gallon = 16 cups, then 850 gallons = x cups)

3. **Cross multiply and solve for x.**
(Cross-multiplication will give you x = 850 * 16)

So the correct order is: **1, 2, 3.**

### Question 5: Find x when 1 cm = x inches

Given the conversion factor:
- \( 1 \, \text{inch} = 2.54 \, \text{cm} \)

You can find \( x \) in two ways:

1. **Algebraically:**
Rearrange the equation to isolate \( x \).
\[
1 \, \text{inch} = 2.54 \, \text{cm} \implies 1 \, \text{cm} = \frac{1}{2.54} \, \text{inches}
\]

2. **Using ratios:**
Set up a ratio based on the known conversions:
\[
\frac{1 \, \text{cm}}{x \, \text{inches}} = \frac{1 \, \text{inch}}{2.54 \, \text{cm}}
\]

These two methods allow you to solve for x.
