Answer 2

9 cups

Explanation:

Since every 6 cups have 7 1/2 gallons, you would divide 7 1/2 gallons by cups which gets you 1.25 as an answer. After you have found out that, then you would divide all 4 of those answers by 11 1/4 gallons, and if your answer is 1.25, well then that is your answer to the question, so it would be 9 cups in this case.
