Answer: 24 cups

Explanation:


1 (1)/(2)gallons

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator. All of this over the same denominator.

Then, we know that 1 gallon equals 16 cups, we're going to use this as our conversion factor.


(3)/(2)gallons((16cups)/(1gallon))=24cups
