Answer:
1st blank: Multiply
2nd blank: 4 quarts per cup
3rd blank: 16 cups
4th blank: Multiply
5th blank: 16 cups per gallon
6th blank: 48 cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Elyse needs 3 gallons of water to mix a fruit drink, but she has a 1-cup measuring cup. She knows that there are 4 cups in 1 quart, and 4 quarts in 1 gallon.
Elyse can use the unit rate. First she can multiply 4 cups in a quart by 4 quarts per gallon to find that there are 16 cups in 1 gallon. She can then multiply 3 gallons by 16 cups per gallon to determine that she will need 48 cups of water to mix the fruit drink.
[tex]\frac{\text{4 cups}}{\text{Quart}}\times\frac{\text{4 quarts}}{\text{gallon}}=\frac{\text{16 cups}}{\text{gallon}}[/tex]
Step 2:
[tex]3\text{ gallons}\times\frac{\text{16 cups}}{\text{gallon}}=3\times \text{16 cups}=\text{48 cups}[/tex]
