How do you find the answer to how many ounces in a gallon multiply add subtract or divide?

first of all there are many free online conversions to figure this question out. Secondly, the answer depends on how you want to approach the question and what information you already have. I'll assume you know how many ounces in a cup, cups in a pint, pints in a quart and quarts in a gallon. if you knew how many ounces in a cup and how many cups in a gallon you could skip steps. you can multiply how many ounces in a cup by how many cups in a pint, then multiply that answer by how many pints in a quart, then multiply that answer by how many quarts in a gallon. conversely you could divide a gallon by the number of quarts in a gallon, divide that answer by the number of pints in a quart, divide that answer by the number of cups in a pint and divide that answer by the number of ounces in a cup. This will give you a fraction. The recipricol of that fraction is the number of ounces in a gallon. adding and subtracting would be nothing more than a convoluted way of explaining the multiplication or division of the problem.
