It's been so hot out lately that you are thinking of throwing a bucket of water over your brother's head. You have a 2 gallon bucket, 7 quart bucket and an 18 pint bucket. Which bucket holds the most water to splash your brother with? (1 gallon = 8 pints, 1 gallon = 4 quarts, 1 quart = 2 pints)

Answer: The 18 pint bucket.

Step-by-step explanation: If you convert all of the units to gallons, you will find that the 7 quart bucket contains 1.75 gallons and the 18 pint bucket contains 2.25 gallons. Since 2.25 is the greatest amount, the 18 pint bucket contains the most water.
