Question

If David can prepare 2 gallons of juice in 4 days, how many cups of juice can he prepare per day?

A) 8 cups
B) 24 cups
C) 6 cups
D) 32 cups

Answer 1

David can prepare 8 cups of juice per day, as two gallons equal 32 cups and he prepares 2 gallons in 4 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will find out how many cups are in two gallons. Using the unit equivalence, we know that 1 gallon is equivalent to 16 cups (since 1 gallon = 4 quarts and 1 quart = 4 cups, so 4 quarts x 4 cups/quart = 16 cups). Therefore, 2 gallons would be 2 x 16 cups = 32 cups of juice. Next, we divide the total number of cups by the number of days to find out how many cups of juice David can prepare per day. 32 cups/4 days = 8 cups per day.

Therefore, the correct answer is A) 8 cups.
