Tim should convert the 3 gallons into equivalent and equal portions. There are 16 cups in each gallon. Multiply 16 and 3 and the answer would be 48. Tim should pour 48 cups of water into the pot using a measuring cup. This is how you would accurately measure the water.

Hopefully this answer is sufficient.
