There is 8 pints in 1 gallon so 12x8=96
96 pints to fill a 12 gallon pot

Answer:

The number of 1-pint containers of chicken broth Jared will need to fill the pot is 96

Explanation;

The table is missing; however, I'll give the step by step explanation to get the measurements of a 1 pint container in terms of gallons.

Given

Size of pot = 12 gallons

To solve this problem, we need the relationship between pint and gallon measurements;

i.e what number of pint makes a gallon or vice versa.

The meaning of the question is that we want to get the equivalent of 12 gallon in pints

From US standard measurements;

1 liquid gallon = 8 liquid pints

If 1 liquid gallon = 8 liquid pints then

12 liquid gallon = 8 * 12 liquid pints

So,

12 liquid gallon = 96 liquid pints

The number of 1-pint containers of chicken broth Jared will need to fill the pot is 96
