Can you explain how to answer this question? Tara wants to set up 5 water coolers outside the skating rink to allow skaters to hydrate themselves. She buys 80 gallons to distribute evenly to each cooler and 8 ounce cups for drinking the water. How many cups will each cooler of water fill?

256 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of 8-ounce cups that each of the cooler of water will fill.

This is obviously a conversion type of question. We proceed as follows;

She buys 80 gallons to distribute in 5 coolers, this means each cooler will contain 80/5 = 16 gallons each of water.

Now let’s get the equivalent of this in ounce.

Mathematically, 1 gallon contains 128 ounces.

Since one cooler contains 16 gallons, this means each cooler will contain 16 * 128 = 2,048 ounces of water

Now, we know each cooler of water is to fill a series of 8- ounce cups. We now need to calculate the number of 8-ounce cups that will be filled by the 2,048 ounces cooler.

Mathematically, this is 2,048/8 = 256 cups
