Question

Joy needed for 6 pints of milk for a recipe her friend Astra says she should use 2/5 cup of milk Joy said she should use 1 3/5 cup of milk given that one cup is equal to 1/2 pint who was correct explain how you know Point Break

Answer 1

Joy was correct

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cup is equal to 1/2 pint, so taking into account this relationship, we can convert 4/5 pint of milk to cups as:

`(4)/(5)\text{ pint}*1\text{ cup }/(1)/(2)\text{ pint = }(4)/(5)*1*(2)/(1)=(8)/(5)\text{ cups}`

Then, 8/5 is equivalent to:

`(8)/(5)=1(3)/(5)\text{ cups}`

Because when we divide 8 by 5, we get 1 as a quotient and 3 as a remainder.

Therefore, Joy was correct.
