Answer:

There are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, so the 5 gallon jug contains 128 * 5 = 640 fluid ounces of water. There are 32 fluid ounces in a quart, so the 2 quart canteen contains 2 * 32 = 64 fluid ounces of water. That means Sam can fill her canteen with water from the jug 640 / 64 = 10 times.Step-by-step explanation:
