Practice makes perfect
A soccer team brings a 4.5-gallon cooler of water. We want to find out how many 4-ounce cups the team can drink per game. Therefore, we need to start by converting between liquid gallons (gal) and liquid ounces (oz). This will involve using a conversion factor.
128oz/1galMultiplying 4.5 gallons by this conversion factor will convert it to ounces.
In order to find out how many 4-ounce cups the team can drink per game, we need to divide the whole 576 oz of water the team brought by the volume of one 4-oz cup. This will give us the number of cups the team can drink per game.
