Final answer:
To convert from quarts to cups, since 1 quart equals 4 cups, Mrs. Braswell would need to fill her 1-cup measuring tool 8 times to get 2 quarts of water for her recipe.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question involves a unit conversion from cups to quarts. To answer the question: Mrs. Braswell has a recipe calling for 2 quarts of water. To determine how many times she must fill up her 1-cup measuring tool to have enough water, we first need to know the conversion between quarts and cups. Since 1 quart is equivalent to 4 cups, Mrs. Braswell will need 2 quarts which equals:
- 2 quarts × 4 cups/quart = 8 cups
Therefore, Mrs. Braswell must fill up her 1-cup measuring tool 8 times to have the 2 quarts of water her recipe calls for.
This example utilizes the unit equivalence of 1 quart being equal to 4 cups to determine the total amount of cups needed:
- 4 cups = 1 quart
- 2 pints = 1 quart
- 0.25 gallon = 1 quart
