Water bottles are often sold in the handy size of 16.9 ounces ... which is 1.06 pints. You definitely should wonder where these goofy numbers come from, so I'll tell you: It's 1/2 of a liter. So these same bottles can be sold in other countries with only a different label.

Georgette took a new full water bottle out of the fridge when she left for soccer practice. During the game, she drank 3/4 (0.75) of the bottle.

How many pints of water did she drink ?

How many ounces ?

How many liters ?
