To convert 2 1/2 gallons into other units of measurement, we need to understand the relationship between gallons and other common units of liquid volume. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

1. Convert Gallons to Quarts:

• 1 gallon = 4 quarts (because a gallon is equivalent to 4 quarts).
• To convert 2 1/2 gallons into quarts, we multiply by 4:

​                          2 1/2 gallons=(2+1/2​) ×4=2×4+1/2 ×4=8+2=10quarts

So, 2 1/2 gallons = 10 quarts.

2. Convert Gallons to Pints:

• 1 gallon = 8 pints (since 1 quart = 2 pints and 1 gallon = 4 quarts).
• To convert 2 1/2 gallons into pints:

2 1/2 gallons=(2+1/2​) ×8=2×8+21​×8=16+4=20pints

So, 2 1/2 gallons = 20 pints.

3. Convert Gallons to Cups:

• 1 gallon = 16 cups (since 1 pint = 2 cups and 1 gallon = 8 pints).
• To convert 2 1/2 gallons into cups:

2 1/2 gallons=(2+1/2​) ×16=2×16+21​×16=32+8=40cups

So, 2 1/2 gallons = 40 cups.

4. Convert Gallons to Fluid Ounces:

• 1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces (since 1 pint = 16 fluid ounces and 1 gallon = 8 pints).
• To convert 2 1/2 gallons into fluid ounces:

2 1/2 gallons=(2+1/2​) ×128=2×128+21​×128=256+64=320 fluid ounces

So, 2 1/2 gallons = 320 fluid ounces.
