Answer 1

@Michele_Laino

Answer 2

time you guys stopped using archaic measurement units and moved onto litres

Answer 3

just type into google

"3.5 galls in cups"

anddo the same for the rest of the conversions - then add up the lot into 'cups'

Answer 4

@MrNood I got 56

Answer 5

that's correct for the water - now do the same for all the other ingredients

convert to 'cups' and then add them up

Answer 6

OOOPS soory - correction:

It's 3 gallons water - not 3.5....

Answer 7

add gallons first
3 + 1.5 + .75--(3 quarts are 3/4 gal. or .75) = xgal

\[\frac{ xgal. }{ 1 }\left( \frac{ 16 cups }{ 1 gal} \right)\]
the gallon units cancel

now add 2cups because 2cups = pint
add 1 more cup and that is your answer
