Answer:

27 gallons

Explanation:

First, multiply each number by 8, so you can get 16 cups.

16 cups to make 32 servings or 1 gallon to make 32 servings

Then find out what you multiply 32 by to get 864 by dividing 864/32 which is 27.

Now multiply the 1 gallon by 27 to get 27 gallons in 864 servings
