Question

I need help with math!
4.8 pints = ___ galons
​

Answer 1

Answer: 0.6 gallons

Explanation: In this problem, we are asked to convert 4.8 pints into gallons which means we use the conversion factor for pints and gallons.

Conversion factor ⇒ 8 pints = 1 gallon

Next, notice that we are going from a smaller unit "pint" to a larger unit "gallons" and when we go from a smaller unit to a larger unit we divide by the conversion factor.

We divide 4.8 by 8 and we will get an answer of 0.6 which means that 4.8 pints is equivalent to 0.6 gallons.
