    First, we need to know how many fluid ounces hold the 25 juice cups; for that, you have to multiply 25 by 12

    25*12=300 fluid ounces

    if 1 quart = ... 32 fluid ounces

    x quarts = ... 300 fluid ounces

    x = 300*1/32 = 9.375 quarts

    if 1 gallon = ... 4 quarts

    y gallons = ... 9.375 quarts

    y = 9.375*1/4 = 2.34375 gallons

    You know that 1 gallon = 1 bottle but if you order just 2-gallon bottles you remain with the rest of 0.34375. In order to fill the juice cups, you need to order 3-gallon bottles even if you remain with the rest of juice.

    The right answer is C. 3 bottles

    Total volume of Juice

    25 * 12

    300 ounces

    300 ounces / 32

    9.375 quart

    9.375 quart / 4

    2.34375 gallons

    So Earl should buy at least 3 bottles
