Answer:

8 more times than

Explanation:

We are told in the above question that:

Jason and Monica each need to put 1 gallon of water into a pot.

It is important to note that:

1 liquid gallon = 16 cups

1 liquid gallon = 8 liquid pints

For Jason

Jason has a measuring cup that holds 1 cup.

1 liquid gallon = 16 cups

In order to fill the pot, Jason has to use the cup 16 times

For Monica

Monica has a measuring cup that holds 1 pint.

Monica has to fill the pot using her measuring cup 8 times

How many more times does Jason need fill the measuring cup than Monica?

This is calculated as:

16 times - 8 times

= 8 times

Therefore, Jason needs to fill the measuring cup 8 more times than Monica
