You would need to divide.

4 cups = 1 quart Divide by 4
You may multiply by 0.25, or divide by 4. The result is the same- cups to quarts.
-- Take the number of quarts-- Multiply the number by 4-- The answer is the number of cups
2 cups in a pint.
One quart is the same amount as four cups. If you want to convert quarts to cups, multiply the number of quarts by 4.
Divide by 4.
Got that backwards- 4 cups is one quart. To change quarts to cups, multiply by 4.
there are 16 tbsp in a cup.
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.
To find how many quarts are in 12 cups, first you divide 12 by 4, that makes 3 quarts equal to 12 cups.
To figure out how many 32 cups makes into quarts, you need to know some kitchen measurement conversions. I have memorized that there are 4 cups in a quart. Therefore, I would take the number--32cups, and divide by 4 to find out that there would be eight quarts, if you had 32 cups.
