Answer 1

`7\text{ }cups`

Step-by-step explanation

We want to convert from pints to cups.

To convert from pints to cups, apply the conversion rate:

`1\text{ }pint=2\text{ }cups`

Therefore, 3¹/₂ pints of milk to cups is:

`\begin{gathered} 3(1)/(2)\text{ }pints=3(1)/(2)*2\text{ }cups \\ \\ \Rightarrow7\text{ }cups \end{gathered}`

That is the answer.
