Answer:
0.08 pounds per pint.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The density of a certain material is such that it weighs 10 ounces per gallon.
We are to express this density in pounds per pint.
1 gallon ⇒ 10 ounces
1 pound = 16 ounces
How many pounds? = 10 ounces.
Cross-multiplying gives;
pounds
1 gallon = 8 pints
The density in pounds per pint is;
0.625 pounds ÷ 8 pints = 0.078125 pounds per pint = 0.08 pounds per pint (answer rounded up to the nearest hundredth).
