Hi!

You need 2 cups of water, but you only have a liquid measuring cup that measures up to 3 pints. what can you do to get the 2 cups of water that you need?
explain and show your work.

one pint = two cups.

The "measuring cup" should have indicators for levels of one and two pints.

To get 2 cups of water using a liquid measuring cup that measures up to 3 pints, you can follow these steps:

1. Start by converting 2 cups into pints. There are 2 cups in 1 pint, so 2 cups is equivalent to 1 pint.

2. Since your measuring cup can hold up to 3 pints, pour 1 pint (equivalent to 2 cups) of water into the measuring cup.

3. Fill the measuring cup with water until it reaches the 2-pint mark. This will ensure you have exactly 2 cups of water.

To summarize, you can simply fill the measuring cup up to the 2-pint mark to obtain the desired 2 cups of water.
