How many gallons are equivalent to 32 ounces?

1. 0.125 gallons

2. 0.75 gallons

3. 4 gallons

4. 1 gallon

The correct answer is: 0.125 gallons

To determine how many gallons are equivalent to 32 ounces, it's important to recognize the conversion factors between ounces and gallons. One gallon is equivalent to 128 ounces. By using this information, we can establish a direct relationship between ounces and gallons. First, to convert ounces to gallons, we divide the number of ounces by the number of ounces in a gallon: 32 ounces ÷ 128 ounces/gallon = 0.25 gallons. This conversion indicates that 32 ounces equals 0.25 gallons, which aligns with the calculation that can be done by recognizing that there are 16 ounces in a pint, 2 pints in a quart, and 4 quarts in a gallon, leading us through a sequence to reach 128 ounces total for the gallon. When considering the choices, the correct answer would actually reflect this value. The value of 0.125 gallons denotes a different relationship (specifically 16 ounces), while the value of 0.75 gallons would represent 96 ounces, which is also incorrect. The choices of 4 gallons and 1 gallon represent vastly larger quantities than 32 ounces. Thus, the correct conversion of 32 ounces reveals that it is equivalent to approximately 0.25 gallons, spotlight
