What doea,the c mean when the math problem is 8c = how many pints? I tried 1 2 4 and 16 but don't know what to look for.
In the math problem 8c = how many pints, the letter 'c' represents a variable. A variable is a symbol (in this case 'c') that can take on different values.
To find out how many pints are represented by 8c, you need to solve the equation. Let's break it down.
The equation is: 8c = how many pints
To find the value of 'c', you need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
(8c) / 8 = (how many pints) / 8
This simplifies to:
c = (how many pints) / 8
So, if you've tried different values for 'c' and the corresponding pints (1, 2, 4, and 16) but haven't found the correct answer, it means you need to find the value of 'how many pints' by dividing each of those values by 8.
Let's try:
For c = 1:
(1) / 8 = 0.125 pints
For c = 2:
(2) / 8 = 0.25 pints
For c = 4:
(4) / 8 = 0.5 pints
For c = 16:
(16) / 8 = 2 pints
So, the answer to the equation 8c = how many pints is that 'c' represents a fraction of a pint. The actual value of 'how many pints' depends on the value of 'c', which could be a decimal or a fraction.
cups
a cups is 8 ounces of water
a pint is 16 ounces of water
8 cups is 4 pints
a pint is a pound the world around (500 cm^3 of water (500 grams) is often called a pound :)
