Explanation:

your teacher gave you the solution to the real problem of this question : how many cups are in 1 gallon. 16 cups.

and if you remember that a year has 365 days, then the rest is rant simple and straight forward :

8 cups per day

so

365 Ă— 8 = 2920 cups per year.

2920 cups = 2920/16 = 182.5 gallons

therefore, she drinks 182.5 gallons of water per year.
