 If 16 rabbits eat one-half cup of food per day, how many days will five gallons of rabbit food last?

Please clarify: each of the 16 rabbits eats half a cup a day, right? We need to know the capacity of one cup in metric or imperial measure. The gallon as a US gallon, right?

Taking 1 cup=1/16 gallon, half a cup is 1/32 gallon. 16 rabbits require 16/32=1/2 gallon per day.

5 gallons would be sufficient for 10 days.
