Answer 1

To find the missing value for 6 gallons in fluid ounces, we can use the conversion factor from the provided chart.

From the conversion chart:
- 2 gallons = 256 fluid ounces
- To find the fluid ounces per gallon, we divide 256 by 2:

\[
\text{Fluid Ounces per Gallon} = \frac{256}{2} = 128 \text{ fluid ounces per gallon}
\]

Now, to find out how many fluid ounces are in 6 gallons, we can multiply the fluid ounces per gallon by 6:

\[
6 \text{ gallons} \times 128 \text{ fluid ounces per gallon} = 768 \text{ fluid ounces}
\]

So, the missing value for 6 gallons in fluid ounces is **768**.
