How many ounces are in 3 gallons?

Rationale

There are 384 ounces in 3 gallons.

One gallon is equivalent to 128 ounces. Therefore, to find the total ounces in 3 gallons, we multiply 128 ounces by 3, resulting in 384 ounces.

A (256 oz) YOUR ANSWER

This choice represents the conversion of only 2 gallons into ounces, as 2 gallons equal 256 ounces (2 x 128). It does not account for the total ounces when converting 3 gallons, which requires multiplying by 128 ounces for each of the three gallons.

B (384 oz) CORRECT

This is the correct choice. By multiplying the number of ounces in one gallon (128) by 3, we find that 3 gallons contain 384 ounces (3 x 128 = 384). This calculation accurately reflects the conversion from gallons to ounces.

C (512 oz) YOUR ANSWER

This option incorrectly suggests that 4 gallons would yield 512 ounces, as 4 gallons equal 512 ounces (4 x 128). It does not correspond to the quantity of ounces in 3 gallons, which is lower than this amount.

D (128 oz) YOUR ANSWER

This choice reflects the number of ounces in just 1 gallon (1 x 128), not accounting for the additional gallons. Therefore, it is not a correct representation of the total ounces contained in 3 gallons.

Conclusion

To convert gallons to ounces, one must multiply the number of gallons by the number of ounces per gallon. Since there are 128 ounces in each gallon, 3 gallons equate to 384 ounces. The other options either represent incorrect gallon conversions or do not account for the full quantity needed for 3 gallons. Thus, understanding the conversion factor is essential to obtaining the correct answer.
