First step: figure out how many fluid ounces in a gallon.
1 gallon=4 quarts=132 fluid ounces
How many fluid ounces total do you need?
35 cups multiplied by 12 fluid ounces is 420 fluid ounces.
How many 132 fluid ounce jugs do you need to get 420 fluid ounces filled?

i still dont understand

so 132+420

anonymous · Answer

If you need 420 and you buy bottles that contain 132... how many times does 132 go into 420?

anonymous · Answer

0.314285714

anonymous · Answer

No... divide 420 by 132... 132 is smaller so you will have a whole number and a decimal.

anonymous · Answer

420/132
