To find out how many cups are in four gallons, we can use multiplication since there are 16 cups in one gallon.

Here are the correct expressions from the provided options:

  1. 4 × 16 (This means 4 gallons times 16 cups.)
  2. 16 × 4 (This is the same as 4 × 16, just reordered.)
  3. 16 + 16 + 16 + 16 (This is adding 16 cups four times, which is the same as multiplying.)

The incorrect options would be:

  • 16 + 4 (This does not correctly represent the total number of cups in four gallons.)
  • 16 ÷ 4 (This does not apply to finding the total number of cups in four gallons.)

So the three expressions that apply are:

  1. 4 × 16
  2. 16 × 4
  3. 16 + 16 + 16 + 16
