Answer:
I'm not sure, but it might be 120.
First lets convert the pints to cups.
1 pint = 2 cups
12 pints = ? cups
Now lets multiply to find out how many cups are in 12 pints.
12 × 2 = 24
24 cups in 12 pints.
Now lets look at the information we have.
4 cups of water per 9 servings
Now lets divide to see how many time 24 goes into 4.
24 ÷ 4 = 6
Now lets multiply:-
6 × 9 = 54
So, 54 servings of water fir in 12 pints of water.
Hope I helped ya!!!
Remark
The formula for this series is
t_n = n^2 - 1
Explanation
If the series ends at 288, then the highest value n can have is 17
So you would write t_n = n^2 - 1 {n| 1 ≤ n ≤17}
If you said this to someone, you would say "t_n = n squared minus 1 where n is such that 1 is greater than or equal to 1 or less than or equal to 17"
Example
What is the 4th term in this series?
t_4 = 4^2 - 1
t_4 = 16 - 1
t_4 = 15
Eliminate to solve for x or y.
You should get (-63/11, -119/11) as a solution
