Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert remaining water to fluid - ounces

We know 1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces. The remaining water is $\frac{1}{4}$ gallon. So the number of fluid - ounces of remaining water is $\frac{1}{4}\times128$. $\frac{1}{4}\times128 = 32$ fluid ounces. Since we don't have any information about the water used by students other than what was left, we assume the amount of water in the beaker before pouring is the amount that was left.

Answer:

32 fluid ounces
