IF C IS THE NUMBER OF CUPS THEN 1/2C CAN BE USED TO FIND THE NUMBER OF PINTS FOR 12 CUPS

that is true. And the question is?

Oh, how about how many pints in 12 cups?

pints = 12cups * 1 pint/2cups = 6 pints

The trick is to remember that nothing changes when you multiply by 1. Just pick the units you want. In this case 1 = 1pt/2c

To find the number of pints for 12 cups when 1/2C is given, we need to understand the conversion factor between cups and pints.

1 cup is equal to 1/2 pint.

So, to convert from cups to pints, we multiply the number of cups by the conversion factor of 1/2.

Let's apply this to the given scenario:

Given: C = the number of cups
We want to find the number of pints for 12 cups.

First, we substitute C with 12 in the equation 1/2C:
1/2C = 1/2 * 12

Simplifying the expression:
1/2 * 12 = 6

Therefore, there are 6 pints in 12 cups.
