A cooler contains 14 1/2 cups of juice. How many pints of juice does the cooler contain? Also, please explain how you got the answer. Thanks:) Liquid 2 cups = 1 pint 2.5 cups = 1.25 pints
( .5 cups = .25 pints because pints are one half of cups, .25 is half of .5 cup)
I figure these exercises out by numeric association. I see a 3, so I know right away that there <em>might</em> be a 9 somewhere. So, you start by plugging 3 in for THEN plug in for sinse there are <em>twise</em><em> </em>the quantity of than there are of Now, doing so will give you This tells you to try another pattern, so go with plugging in for and in for . Doing so gives you what you are looking -- Therefore, the association wourked perfectly. ☑
