here's a little bit that might help you: there are 8 oz in one cup, two cups in a pint, four cups in a quart, and sixteen cups in a gallon. there are two pints in one quart, and eight pints in one gallon. there are four quarts in one gallon. with that out of the way... knowing that 8 fluid ounces is equal to one cup, you can convert 192 into cups by dividing 192 by 8. that ends up being 24 cups, so you can rule out answer d. 16 pints and 2 gallons are the exact same thing, so you can also rule those out (that's a little trick that i love... if two answers are the same, it can be neither). because there are four cups in one quart, and 24 cups in all, 24 divided by four is six... so that gives you six quarts. terry made six quarts of punch for his party.

This problem doesn't make any sense. 12 fluid ounces = 1 1/2 cups.......1 cup = 8 ounces. Are you asking the question correctly?
