Answer:

Explanation:

You would need to figure out how many students, so for example let's say 24 students, if she gives each student half a cup (a pint) and there is 32 cups 32 x 2 = 64, Then you would want to divide 64 by 2, that would give you 32 pints. So each student gets 32 pints of juice. Could be different if the number of students weren't 24. You're welcome!
