Question

Morgan measures the capacity of a juice glass to be 12 fluid ounces. If she uses the glass to drink 4 glasses of water throughout the day, how many pints of water does morgan drink?

Answer 1

So,

Morgan drank 4 glasses of water out of a juice glass that contains 12 fluid ounces.  To find how many pints Morgan drinks, we need to multiply the number of glasses by the number of fluid ounces, convert from fl. oz. to cups, and convert from cups to pints.

4 * 12 = 48 fl. oz.

8 fl. oz. = 1 cup
48 fl. oz. = 6 cups

2 c. = 1 pt.
6 c. = 3 pt.

Morgan drink 3 pints of water.

Answer 2

Approximately 3 liquid pints. (3.00005)
