Morgan measures the capacity of a juice glass to be 12 fluid oz if she uses the glass to drink 4 glasses of water throught the day how many pints of water does morgan drink
1) First find how many fluid ounces Morgan drinks throughout the day. The glass holds 12 fl oz at one time. She drinks 4 glasses. To find the total number of fluid ounces, multiply 12 fl by 4: [tex]12 \: fl \: oz \times 4 = 48 \: fl \: oz [/tex]
2) Now you have to convert 48 fl oz to pints. Unless you know the direct conversion from fl oz ---> pints, you can convert fluid ounces to cups, then convert cups to pints! - There are 8 fl oz per cup. To find how many cups 48 fl oz is, divide 48 by 8: [tex]48 \: fl \: oz \div 8 = 6 \: cups[/tex]
- There are 2 cups per pint. To find how many pints 6 cups is, divide 6 by 2: [tex]6 \: cups \div 2 = 3 \:pints [/tex]
