Expiation

Answer 2

B. 3 * 4 * 2

Explanation:

Given

Size of lemonade = 3 gallons

Number of pint = ?

To solve this question, we have to convert 3 gallon to its equivalence in pints

First, it should be noted that, from the standard rate of conversion

1 gallon is equivalent to 8 pints;

i,e.

1 gallon = 8 pints.

If the above statement is true, then we get the corresponding value of 3 pints by multiplying 3 to both sides of the equation

3 * 1 gallon = 3 * 8 pints

3 gallons = 3 * 8 pints (Expanding 8 in terms of 2's)

3 gallons = 3 * 2 * 2 * 2 pints (Multiply 2 by 2)

3 gallons = 3 * 4 * 2 pints

Hence, the number of pints that correspond to 3 gallons of lemonade made by Nora is 3 * 4 * 2
