Answer:
Using PEMDAS, you should get the answer of 5.
1 pint = 2 cups or 1 cup = 1/2 pint
x pints = 12 cups
(12 cups) / 2 = 6 pints
12 cups is equivalent to 6 pints
To figure out the size of a rectangle that would represent the swimming pool, you will use the formula for volume of a rectangle or prism to solve for the area of the base.
V = Bh
1200 = 5B
B = 240 square feet
To get an area of 240 ft.², you could use the dimensions 10' x 24'. Another possibility would be 8' x 30'.
If you solve for x the answer is x<-8
