Student council bought 12 gallons of lemonade for the school dance. How many 8-ounce cups of lemonade can be filled?
you may not know how many cups in a gallon, but you probably know that
1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 quart = 4 cups
so a gallon is 16 cups
Maybe you can take it from there ...

To find out how many 8-ounce cups of lemonade can be filled, we need to convert the gallons to ounces.
1 gallon = 128 ounces.
So, 12 gallons = 12 * 128 = 1,536 ounces.
Now, to find out how many 8-ounce cups can be filled, we divide the total number of ounces (1,536) by the size of each cup (8).
1,536 / 8 = 192.
Therefore, 192 cups of lemonade can be filled with 12 gallons of lemonade.
To find out how many 8-ounce cups of lemonade can be filled from 12 gallons, we need to convert gallons to ounces and divide by 8.
1 gallon is equal to 128 ounces.
So, 12 gallons will be equal to 12 x 128 = 1536 ounces.
Now, we divide 1536 by 8 to find the number of 8-ounce cups:
1536 ÷ 8 = 192
Therefore, you can fill 192 cups of lemonade from 12 gallons.
