Question

Morgan measures the capacity of a juice glass to be 12 fluid oz if she uses the glass to drink 4 glasses of water throught the day how many pints of water does morgan drink

Answer 1

1) First find how many fluid ounces Morgan drinks throughout the day. The glass holds 12 fl oz at one time. She drinks 4 glasses. To find the total number of fluid ounces, multiply 12 fl by 4:

`12 \: fl \: oz * 4 = 48 \: fl \: oz`

2) Now you have to convert 48 fl oz to pints. Unless you know the direct conversion from fl oz ---> pints, you can convert fluid ounces to cups, then convert cups to pints!
- There are 8 fl oz per cup. To find how many cups 48 fl oz is, divide 48 by 8:

`48 \: fl \: oz / 8 = 6 \: cups`

- There are 2 cups per pint. To find how many pints 6 cups is, divide 6 by 2:

`6 \: cups / 2 = 3 \:pints`

Answer: 3 pints
