Answer: The one that holds 12 quarts.
Explanation: Lets break in down:
1 gallon= 4 quarts
A pitcher with 2 gallons= 8 quarts because 4 quarts= 1 gallon+ 4 quarts=2 gallons, total quarts= 4+4=8 quarts or 2 gallons
A pitcher with 12 quarts=3 gallons because 4 quarts= 1 gallon+4 quarts=2 gallons+4 quarts= 3 gallons, total quarts 4+4+4=12 or 3 gallon.
2 gallons is less than 3 gallons.
Therefore the pitcher with 12 quarts has greater capacity.
