35 cups times twelve fluid ounces each is 420 fluid ounces total. There are 32 ounces in a quart. 420/32=13.125. 13.125 quarts of juice are needed. Since there are 4 quarts in a gallon, divide 13.125 by 4, and you get about 3.3. Since you can't buy 3/10 of a bottle of juice, Frank will need to buy four gallons of juice to have enough.

Hope I helped :)
