Final answer:

To find the total of 200 pounds converted into ounces and the number of pints in a gallon, multiply 200 by the conversion factor of 16 ounces per pound and add 8 (the number of pints in a gallon). The answer is 3208.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, convert pounds to ounces and add this to the number of pints in a gallon.

We know that 1 pound equals 16 ounces. Therefore, to convert 200 pounds into ounces, we multiply 200 by 16: 200 x 16 = 3200 ounces.

Next, to find the number of pints in a gallon, we will use the unit equivalence that 1 gallon equals 8 pints (because 1 quart is 2 pints and 1 gallon is 4 quarts).

Adding the two converted measurements together: 3200 ounces (converted from pounds) + 8 pints = 3208.

Hence, the total sum of 200 pounds converted into ounces plus the number of pints in a gallon is 3208.
