Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the conversion factor
1 gallon is equivalent to 16 cups. This is the conversion factor we will use to solve the problem.
Step 2: Set up the calculation
Multiply the number of gallons (18) by the number of cups in one gallon (16):
\[
18 \text{ gallons} \times 16 \text{ cups/gallon} = ?
\]
Step 3: Perform the multiplication
Calculate the total number of cups:
\[
18 \times 16 = 288 \text{ cups}
\]
