The conversion factor from gallons to cups is 16, which means that 1 gallon is equal to 16 cups:

1 gal = 16 cup

To convert 250 gallons into cups we have to multiply 250 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from gallons to cups. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 gal → 16 cup

250 gal → V_(cup)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in cups:

V_(cup) = 250 gal × 16 cup

V_(cup) = 4000 cup

The final result is:

250 gal → 4000 cup

We conclude that 250 gallons is equivalent to 4000 cups:

250 gallons = 4000 cups
