Explanation:

The question is incomplete, as there are no options to select from.

However, a general explanation is as follows.

Given

`2\ cups = 1\ pint`

Required

Is
`c = 2p` a correct expression?

Let

`c = cups`

`p = pint`

So:

`2\ cups = 1\ pint`

becomes

`2 * c = 1 * p`

`2c = p`

Divide both sides by 2

`c =(1)/(2)p`

Hence:

`c = 2p` is incorrect
