A. 32
B. 16
C. 8
D. 2



Answer :

To determine how many glasses Fatima can fill with 2 gallons of milk, follow these steps:

1. Understand the Units:
- 1 gallon is equivalent to 16 cups.
- Fatima has 2 gallons of milk.

2. Conversion to Cups:
- First, convert the total amount of milk from gallons to cups. Since 1 gallon equals 16 cups, we multiply the number of gallons by 16.
[tex]\[ 2 \text{ gallons} \times 16 \text{ cups per gallon} = 32 \text{ cups} \][/tex]

3. Determine the Number of Glasses:
- Each glass holds 1 cup of milk.
- To find out how many glasses Fatima can fill, divide the total number of cups by the cup capacity of one glass:
[tex]\[ \frac{32 \text{ cups}}{1 \text{ cup per glass}} = 32 \text{ glasses} \][/tex]

Therefore, Fatima can fill 32 glasses with her 2 gallons of milk.

The correct answer is:
(A) 32
