Question

Jackie made 12 quarts of lemonade. Jackie says she made 6 pints of lemonade. Complete the explanation of Jackie's error. Then find the correct number of pints of lemonade. Jackie divided the number of quarts by 2. There are pints in each quart. She should have 2; so Jackie made pints of lemonade.

Answer 1

Jackie is incorrect. Since 2 pints equal 1 quart, she would need to multiply 12 by 2 to get the correct answer of 24 pints.
