V=u + at
V - u = at divide both sides by
t
(V-u)/t =a
a = (v - u) /t
First we need the equivalence between cups and pints to solve this question, the equivalence is:
1 cup is 0.5 pint
So we can use a rule of three simple, direct proportion to solve the problem, we change the fraction 1/4 = 0.25 to ease calculations:
1 cup ----> 0.5 pint
0.25 cup ---> x
x = (0.25)(0.5)/1
x = 0.125
Therefore 1/4 cups is equivalent to 0.125 pints
