Question

The density of a certain material is such that it weighs 2 pounds per gallon of volume. Express this density in ounces per pint

Answer 1

To convert the density from pounds per gallon to ounces per pint, you can use the conversion factor 16 ounces = 1 pound and 2 pints = 1 gallon. The density of the material is 16 ounces per pint.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the density from pounds per gallon to ounces per pint, we can use the conversion factor: 16 ounces = 1 pound and 2 pints = 1 gallon.

Step 1: Convert pounds to ounces: 2 pounds x 16 ounces/pound = 32 ounces

Step 2: Convert gallons to pints: 1 gallon x 2 pints/gallon = 2 pints

Step 3: Divide the weight in ounces by the volume in pints: 32 ounces / 2 pints = 16 ounces per pint.
