Question

the grocery store sells ice cream in 108 fl. oz. containers. How many pints of ice cream is there in 3 of the ice cream containers?

Answer 1

The container they sell ice cream = 108 fluid oz

The amount of fluid oz the 3 ice cream container contains will be as follows

`\begin{gathered} \text{amount of 3 ice cream container=3}*108=\text{ }324\text{ fluid oz} \\ \end{gathered}`

Amount of pints will be as follows

`\begin{gathered} \text{6 fluid ounces}=1\text{ cup} \\ 324\text{ fluid ounces=?} \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ \text{amount in cups=}(324)/(6)=54\text{ cups} \\ \\ 2\text{ cups= 1pint} \\ 54\text{ cups=?} \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ \text{amount of 3 of the ice cream container in pints=}(54)/(2)=27\text{ pints} \end{gathered}`
