Question

A jug holds 10 pints of milk. If each child gets one cup of milk, it can serve children. (Hint: 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces and 1 pint = 16 fluid ounces.)

Answer 1

It can serve 20 children or 20 cups

Answer 2

Answer: 20 cups can serve to 20 children

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pints of milk that jug holds = 10

We need to find the number of cups of milk served to each child.

Since 1 cup =8 fluid ounces

1 pint = 16 fluid ounces

So, 10 pints = 10×16 = 160 fluid ounces

And,

`1\ fluid\ ounce=(1)/(8)\ cup\\\\160\ fluid\ ounces=(160)/(8)=20\ cups`

Hence, 20 cups can serve to 20 children.
