Answer 1

1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups = 128 fluid ounces

32 people x 3 cups = 96 cups

96 cups : 16 = 6 gallons

6 gallons x 4 = 24 quarts

Answer 2

6 gallons of punch, 24 quarts of punch.

Explanation:

1. Multiply 32 and 3. That is 96.

2. Divide 96 by 16 because there are 16 cups in a gallon. The answer is 6 so they need 6 gallons of punch.

3. Multiply 6 by 4 because there are 4 quarts in a gallon. The answer is 24.
