carson needs to multiply

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The number of cups of water she needs to make the punch is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of water Carson need to make fruit punch = 3 quarts

2 cups = 1 pint

2 pint = 1 quarts

1 pint =
`(1)/(2) quarts`

2 cups = 1 pint =
`(1)/(2) quarts`

So, in 1 cup:

1 cup =
`(1)/(2* 2)quarts`

`1 quarts = 1* 2* 2 cup = 4 cup`

So,
`3 quarts = 3* 4 cups = 12 cups`

The number of cups of water she needs to make the punch is 12.
