Question

a science teacher needs to collect lake water for a lab she is teaching. The lab requires each student to use 4 fluid ounces of lake water. If 68 students are participating, how many pints of lake water will the teacher need to collect

Answer 1

First you do 68 x 4 = 272. Then, you do 272 divided by 8 because 8 fl. oz. is 1 cup. Your answer is 34 cups. After, you convert 34 cups into 17 pints because there are 2 pints in 1 cup so your answer will be 17 pints. :) Hope it helps.
