Answer:

40

Explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

you can solve this easily using a simple rule of three

Step one

define the relation and solve for x

if

1 gallon ⇒16 cups

2.5 gallons⇒x cups?


(1)/(16) = (2.5)/(x) \\isolate\ x\\(1*x)/(16)=2.5\\x=(2.5*16)/(1) \\x=40

so, 2.5 gallons is the same amount as 40 cups

I hope it helps, Have a fantastic day.
