Question

Explain how you would convert a measurement given in ounces in pints

Answer 1

It is known that 1 pint equals 16 ounces

Explanation:

It is known that 1 pint equals 16 ounces. Then we use this data to transform a number of ounces into pints.

Suppose we have x ounces. We want to know how many pints are these x ounces. Then we perform the following operation

`x\ ounces*(1\ pint)/(16\ ounces)=z\ pints`

Where z pints is the amount equivalent to x ounces
