Mr. Barrett pours 2 cups of blue paint into a jar for each art station. How many jars can he fill with 1 gallon of blue paint?

To solve this, let's break it down:

1. **Convert gallons to cups**:
   There are 16 cups in a gallon.

2. **Determine how many cups are used per jar**:
   Mr. Barrett pours 2 cups of blue paint into each jar for an art station.

3. **Divide the total cups in a gallon by the number of cups per jar**:
   \[
   \frac{16 \, \text{cups}}{2 \, \text{cups/jar}} = 8 \, \text{jars}
   \]

So, Mr. Barrett can fill **8 jars** with 1 gallon of blue paint.
