A.
212 cups


B.
5 cups


C.
2212 cups


D.
10 cups

Answer 1

D ) 10 cups

Explanation:

Since 4 quart = 1 gallon, multiply 4 by 15 to get 60 because there are 15 gallons.

Then, you divide 60 by 12 to get 5 because every 2 cups of fertilizer, 12 quarts of water is used.

Finally, multiply 5 by 2 because Anna uses 2 cups of fertilizer for every 12 quarts of water.

That's how you get the answer of 10 cups.
