Jorge and his two brothers each water the plants. Jorge's watering can holds half as much water as his older brother's watering can. Altogether, the watering cans hold 2 gallons. How many cups does Jorge's watering can hold?

For starters, you want to find out how many cups go into a gallon. thats 16, since there are 2 gallons you would do 16x2, which is 32.
