Answer:

The answer to your question is 4 times

Explanation:

Data

Capacity = 20 gallons

Number of pints = 40

Process

1.- Use the conversion factor to solve this problem

1 gallon ---------------- 8 pints

20 gallons -------------- x

x = (8 x 20) / 1

x = 160 pints

2.- Divide the result by the number of pints

160/40 = 4

3.- Conclusion

He needs to fill up his truck 4 times
