Question

Sharon and Sue are making muffins. Sharon uses 3 cups of milk, and Sue uses 1 pint of milk. Who uses the greater amount of milk? Explain.

Answer 1

Sharon used more milk because 3 cups equal 1.5 (one and a half) pints.

Detailed answer:

1 cup equals 0.5 pints or half of a pint. So if you take 0.5 and multiply it by 3 you get 1.5 and that is the amount of pints that Sharon uses but Sue uses 1 pint or 2 cups. so 1.5 pints is grater than 1 pint by 0.5

(sorry if this was not so clear i am not that good at explaining things, also i hope this helps and you get a good score on whatever you are doing.)
