Explanation: My brain hurts from typing this

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 3.5 gallons into cups we have to multiply 3.5 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

3.5 gal → V(cup)

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

V(cup) = 3.5 gal × 16 cup

V(cup) = 56 cup

The final result is:

3.5 gal → 56 cup

We conclude that 3.5 gallons is equivalent to 56 cups:

3.5 gallons = 56 cups

boccaccio employs the voice of his narrator dioneo to represent his ideas on the tension between masculinity and femininity.  while dioneo excites the members of the brigata and recognizes women for their unique skills and independent ideas, he concludes the decameron with a story reminiscent of the society from which these young aristocrats escaped, revealing misogynistic overtones.  dioneo boccaccio is able to explore the gender disparity which is inherent in 14th century florentine society.
