Janice needs 3 gallons of lemonade for a party. She has 4 quarts, 6 pints, and 4 cups of lemonade already made. How many cups of lemonade does Janice need? How many more cups does she need?

1 answer

1 gallon is equal to 16 cups of lemonade.

First, let's convert the quarts, pints, and cups that Janice already has into cups:
- 4 quarts = 4 quarts x 4 cups/quart = 16 cups
- 6 pints = 6 pints x 2 cups/pint = 12 cups
- 4 cups = 4 cups

Total cups of lemonade Janice already has = 16 cups + 12 cups + 4 cups = 32 cups

Now, we need to determine how many more cups of lemonade Janice needs:

3 gallons x 16 cups/gallon = 48 cups

Janice needs 48 cups of lemonade for the party. She already has 32 cups, so she needs 48 cups - 32 cups = 16 more cups of lemonade.

Therefore, Janice needs 48 cups of lemonade for the party, and she still needs 16 more cups to meet that amount.
