Question

A company is shipping a case of bottled water to a store there are 64 bottles of water in each case if each water bottle holds 3 1/2 cups of water how many gallons of water are in a case of water

Answer 1

There are a couple of steps to solve this problem:

Find the total number of cups of water in a case of water.

Convert the total number of cups to gallons.

To find the total number of cups of water in a case of water, we can multiply the number of bottles in a case (64) by the number of cups in each bottle (3 1/2):

64 x 3 1/2 = 224 cups

To convert cups to gallons, we can divide the number of cups by the number of cups in a gallon. There are 16 cups in a gallon, so we can divide 224 by 16:

224 cups / 16 cups/gallon = 14 gallons

Therefore, there are 14 gallons of water in a case of water.
