Question

I have a birdbath that holds 3 quarts. I only want to fill it 3/4 of the way. How many pints will it take to fill the birdbath 3/4 of the way. How many cups will it take to fill it 3/4 of the way?

Answer 1

Given there is a birdbath that holds 3 quarts.

We only want to fill it 3/4 of the way.

So, the number of quarts required to fill =

`(3)/(4)*3=(9)/(4)quarts`

Now, we will convert from quarts to cups

As we know:

1 quart = 2 pints

and, 1 pint = 2 cups

So, 1 quart = 2 * 2 cups = 4 cups

So, we will convert from 9/4 quarts to cups as follows:

`(9)/(4)quarts=(9)/(4)*4cups=9cups`

So, the answer will be:

It will take 9 cups to fill a birdbath
