A pail holds 2 3/4 gallons of water. How much is this in cups?
1 gallon = 16 cups
2 3/4 = 2 + 3 / 4 = 2.75
2.75 ∙ 16 = 44
2 3/4 gallons = 44 Cups
Well, let's do a little math trickery shall we? There are 4 cups in a quart, and 4 quarts in a gallon. So, if a pail holds 2 3/4 gallons, we can calculate that it holds (2 * 4 + 3/4 * 4) * 4 cups of water, which equals 44 cups. That's more cups than a circus clown can balance on their nose!
To convert gallons to cups, you need to know that there are 16 cups in 1 gallon.
Given that the pail holds 2 3/4 gallons, we can calculate the equivalent amount in cups:
2 3/4 gallons = (2 x 16) cups + (3/4 x 16) cups
= 32 cups + 12 cups
= 44 cups
Therefore, the pail holds 44 cups of water.
To determine how much 2 3/4 gallons is in cups, you'll need to know the conversion factor between gallons and cups.
1 gallon is equal to 16 cups.
So, to convert 2 3/4 gallons to cups, you can multiply 2 3/4 by 16 as:
2 3/4 * 16 = 44 cups
Therefore, 2 3/4 gallons is equal to 44 cups.
