Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’ll use these basic conversions:
- 1 pint = 2 cups
- 1 quart = 2 pints = 4 cups
- 1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups
We’ll go one question at a time.

Now, the next part: “Which is most? Circle the largest amount in each box.”
We have four boxes. Let’s convert everything to the same unit (cups) to compare easily.
Remember:
- 1 cup = 1 cup
- 1 pint = 2 cups
- 1 quart = 4 cups
- 1 gallon = 16 cups
---
Box 1:
- 1 gallon = 16 cups
- 10 pints = 20 cups
- 12 cups = 12 cups
→ Largest:
10 pints (20 cups)
Box 2:
- 9 cups = 9 cups
- 3 quarts = 12 cups
- 5 pints = 10 cups
→ Largest:
3 quarts (12 cups)
Box 3:
- 17 cups = 17 cups
- 1 gallon = 16 cups
- 7 pints = 14 cups
→ Largest:
17 cups
Box 4:
- 5 quarts = 20 cups
- 1 gallon = 16 cups
- 11 pints = 22 cups
→ Largest:
11 pints (22 cups)

Last part: “Put these liquid measures in order from smallest to largest.”
Given:
1 gallon, 17 cups, 7 pints, 3 quarts
Convert all to cups:
- 1 gallon = 16 cups
- 17 cups = 17 cups
- 7 pints = 14 cups
- 3 quarts = 12 cups
So in cups:
3 quarts = 12
7 pints = 14
1 gallon = 16
17 cups = 17
Order from smallest to largest:
3 quarts, 7 pints, 1 gallon, 17 cups

Circle the largest in each box:
Box 1: 10 pints
Box 2: 3 quarts
Box 3: 17 cups
Box 4: 11 pints
Order from smallest to largest:
smallest → 3 quarts | 7 pints | 1 gallon | 17 cups ← largest
