    The ___________ drinks the greatest amount of water.
    Answer:
    The elephant drinks the greatest amount of water.
    Explanation:
    We know that 1 pint is equal to 2 cups.
    1 quarts is equal to 2 pints.
    1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts.
  • The elephant drinks 20 one – gallon containers and 20 one – quart containers.
    20/4 = 5 gallons
    20 gallons + 5 gallons = 25 gallons
    The elephant drinks 25 gallons of water.
  • The lion drinks 40 one – quarts containers and 3 one – gallon containers.
    40/4 = 10 gallons
    10 gallons + 3 gallons = 13 gallons
    The lion drinks 13 gallons of water.
  • The Giraffe drinks 20 one – quart containers and 5 one – gallon containers.
    20/4 = 5 gallons
    5 gallons + 5 gallons = 10 gallons
    The giraffe drinks 10 gallons of water.
