Answer:

The total volume of fluid ounces of water she have is;


422\text{ ounces}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that she has 4 containers that are 2 1/2 quarts each


\begin{gathered} V_1=4*2(1)/(2)\text{ quarts} \\ V_1=10\text{ quarts} \end{gathered}

Recall that to convert quarts to ounce;


1\text{ quart }=32\text{ ounces}
\begin{gathered} V_1=10\text{ quarts }=10*32\text{ ounces} \\ V_1=320\text{ ounces} \end{gathered}

Also, she has 3 containers that are 4.25 cups each;


\begin{gathered} V_2=3*4.25\text{ cups} \\ V_2=12.75\text{ cups} \end{gathered}

To convert cups to ounces;


1\text{ cup}=8\text{ ounces}

So;


\begin{gathered} V_2=12.75\text{ cups }=12.75*8\text{ ounces} \\ V_2=102\text{ ounces} \end{gathered}

The total volume of fluid ounces of water she have is;


V=V_1+V_2

substituting the values;


\begin{gathered} V=320+102\text{ ounces} \\ V=422\text{ ounces} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the total volume of fluid ounces of water she have is;


422\text{ ounces}
