show steps and work please
Try the method DrWLS or I showed you FIRST. Repost if you still don't get it but tell us what you don't understand about the procedure.
To convert 3 3/4 pt to c (cups), we need to determine the conversion factor between pints and cups.
Since there are 2 cups in 1 pint, we can use the conversion factor of 2 cups/1 pint.
Now let's start the conversion:
1. Start with the quantity given: 3 3/4 pt.
2. Convert the whole number part, which is 3 pints, to cups. Since 1 pint is equal to 2 cups, we have:
3 pints * 2 cups/pint = 6 cups
3. Now let's convert the fraction part, which is 3/4 pt, to cups. To do this, we need to divide 3/4 by 1/2 to cancel out the pints and leave us with cups:
(3/4 pt) * (2 cups/1 pint) = (3/4 * 2) cups = 6/4 cups = 1 1/2 cups
4. Add the results of step 2 and step 3 together to get the total number of cups:
6 cups + 1 1/2 cups = 7 1/2 cups
Therefore, 3 3/4 pt is equal to 7 1/2 cups.
