Answer:

12

Explanation:

First we need to know that 2 cups = 1 pint.

If Candi is filling it with half a cup (0.5) Then it would take her 4 times to fill one pint.

.5 + .5 + .5 + .5 = 2

Now just multiply 4 by 3 since she needs 3 pints.

4*3 = 12

Candi would fill the measuring cup 12 times to get 3 pints of water in the pot.

HoPe ThIs HeLpS!!!
