Answer is B- 3x4x2

Step by step

Given
Size of lemonade = 3 gallons
Number of pint =?
To solve this question, we have to convert 3 gallon
to its equivalence in pints
First, it should be noted that, from the standard rate
of conversion
1 gallon is equivalent to 8 pints;
i,e.
1 gallon = 8 pints.
If the above statement is true, then we get the
corresponding value of 3 pints by multiplying 3 to
both sides of the equation
3*1 gallon = 3* 8 pints
3 gallons =3* 8 pints (Expanding 8 in terms of 2's)
3 gallons =3* 2 * 2 * 2 pints (Multiply 2 by 2)
3 gallons = 3 * 4 * 2 pints
Hence, the number of pints that correspond to 3
gallons of lemonade made by Nora is 3 * 4 * 2
