Responses

9.45 pints


1.75 pints


12.5 pints


5.25 pints

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can use a proportion:

5 pints / $3.50 = x pints / $8.75

Cross-multiplying, we get:

5 pints * $8.75 = $3.50 * x pints

43.75 = 3.5x

x = 43.75 / 3.5

x = 12.5

Therefore, for $8.75, you can get 12.5 pints of juice.

Answer 2

12.5 pints is the correct answer
