Taylor made 2 1/2 gallons of fruit punch. what is the total number of 8 fluid ounce cups of punch that taylor made.

To get the answer to that, let us first convert the gallons into fluid ounces. In the question we see that Taylor made 2 1/2 gallons of fruit punch which can also be written as 2.5 gallons. Now if we convert that to fluid ounces, 2.5 gallons of fruit punch will equal to 400 fluid ounces. The question is looking for how many 8 fluid ounce cups can Taylor fill up with the 400 fluid ounces of fruit punch that he has. To get the answer to that, all you need to do is divide 400 and 8. If you divide that, you will get 50. So Taylor will have a total of fifty 8 fluid ounce cups of punch.
