Hi! I have a question.
A cook needs 5 cups of vegetable stock for a soup recipe. How much is this in pints?
Write your answer as a whole number or a mixed number in simplest form. Include the correct unit in your answer. and these are the units.
fl oz, C, pt, qt, gal. Can you help?! Thanks!
8 oz = 1 C
2 C = 1 pt
2 pt = 1 qt
4 qt = 1 gal
I still don't get it. Can someone else try and explain it a little? Thanks though R_scott.
if two cups is one pint , how many pints is five cups?
Of course, I can help! To convert cups to pints, you need to know the conversion factor that relates the two units.
1 cup is equal to 1/2 pint.
Now, let's use this conversion factor to find the answer to your question.
The cook needs 5 cups of vegetable stock. To convert cups to pints, we'll multiply the number of cups by the conversion factor:
5 cups * (1/2 pint/cup) = 2.5 pints
So, 5 cups of vegetable stock is equal to 2.5 pints.
Remember to always include the correct unit in your answer, so in this case, the answer is: 2.5 pints.
