Final answer:

To convert 62 cups of water to gallons, you divide 62 by the number of cups in a gallon, which is 16, resulting in 3 7/8 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

A container holds 62 cups of water. To convert this into gallons, we should know that 1 gallon is equal to 16 cups. To perform this conversion, divide the total number of cups by the number of cups in a gallon.

Therefore:

62 cups ÷ 16 cups/gallon = 3 7/8 gallons.

This means the container holds 3 7/8 gallons of water when converted from cups.
