Jason made 34 bottles of flavored olive oil to give to his class. How many pints of flavored olive oil did Jason make if each bottle holds 8 fl oz?
Does 16fl oz=1pt? And if It does how do I solve this problem
Yes, 16fl oz=1pt
34 * 8 = 272 oz.
272 / 16 = ?
Right.
To solve this problem, we need to convert the 34 bottles of flavored olive oil from fluid ounces to pints, given that each bottle holds 8 fl oz.
First, let's confirm if 16 fl oz equals 1 pint. Yes, you are correct! In the US customary system, 16 fluid ounces equal 1 pint.
Now, to find the number of pints in 34 bottles of flavored olive oil, we'll follow these steps:
1. Determine the total number of fluid ounces by multiplying the number of bottles (34) by the capacity of each bottle (8 fl oz):
Total fluid ounces = 34 bottles * 8 fl oz/bottle
2. Convert the total fluid ounces to pints by dividing the total fluid ounces by the number of fluid ounces in 1 pint:
Total pints = Total fluid ounces / 16 fl oz/pint
Let's calculate it:
1. Total fluid ounces = 34 bottles * 8 fl oz/bottle = 272 fl oz
2. Total pints = 272 fl oz / 16 fl oz/pint = 17 pints
Therefore, Jason made 17 pints of flavored olive oil for his class.
