Final answer:
It takes 24 pints of water to fill the jar because there are 16 ounces in a pint, and Keona pours a total of 384 ounces into the jar to fill it (3 times 128 ounces).
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks how many pints of water it takes to fill a jar if Keona pours 128 ounces of water into the jar three times to fill it. To find the answer, we need to convert ounces to pints. There are 16 ounces in a pint, so to convert ounces to pints, we divide the number of ounces by 16.
First, let's calculate the total number of ounces Keona pours into the jar: 3 times 128 ounces equals 384 ounces. Next, we convert 384 ounces to pints by dividing by 16.
- 384 ounces ÷ 16 ounces per pint = 24 pints
Therefore, it takes 24 pints of water to fill the jar.
