Question

Joy needed 4/5 pint of milk for a recipe. Her friend asha said she should use 2/5 cup of milk. Joy said she should use 1 3/5 cips of milk. Given that 1 cup is equal to 1/2 pint, who was correct explain how you know

Answer 1

Joy is correct

Explanation:

we know that

1 cup=1/2 pint

step 1

Convert pint to cups

Divide 4/5 pint by 1/2 to convert to cups

so

`(4)/(5):(1)/(2)=(8)/(5)\ cups`

step 2

Convert to mixed number

`(8)/(5)\ cups=(5)/(5)+(3)/(5)=1(3)/(5)\ cups`

therefore

Joy is correct
