Answer 1

Cups of water she needs to make the punch is 12.

Explanation:

Amount of water Carson need to make fruit punch = 3 quarts

2 cups is 1 pint

2 pints is 1 quart

1 pint = 1/2 quarts

2 cups is 1 pint which is 1/2 quarts

So, 1 cup:

1 cup is 1/2 times 2 quarts

1 quart is 1 times 2 times 2 cups equals 4 cups

So, 3 quarts equals 3 times 4 cups which equals 12 cups.

So it is 12 cups.
