Question

Avery needs 2gallons of milk for a milkshake recipe.She already has 7pints of milk.How many more pints of milk does she need? How many cups is that?

Answer 1

There are 8 pints in one gallon. So, Avery would need 8 times 2 pints because she needs 2 gallons and there are 8 pints in every gallon.

8 x 2 = 16

Now subtract what she already has from the total she needs.

16 - 7 = 9

So, Avery needs 9 more pints of milk.

Answer 2

Since there are 8 pints in 1 gallon, there are 16 pints in 2 gallons. 16-7=9. So she would need 9 more pints. There are 2 cups in 1 pint, so just double the amount of pints she needs. 9×2=18. So she would need 18 cups of milk. Hope I helped!
