A mayonnaise jar holds a volume of 3 cups. Is the volume of 4 mayonnaise jars greater than 5 pints?
1 pint = 0.5 cups
5 pints = 2.5 cups
4 jars x 3 cups/jar = 12 cups
12 cups > 2.5 cups
Therefore, the volume of 4 mayonnaise jars is greater than 5 pints.
To compare the volume of 4 mayonnaise jars and 5 pints, we need to convert the units to the same measurement.
One cup is equal to 0.5 pints. Therefore, the volume of a mayonnaise jar in pints is 3 cups * 0.5 pints per cup = 1.5 pints.
Now, we can calculate the total volume of 4 mayonnaise jars: 4 jars * 1.5 pints per jar = 6 pints.
Comparing 6 pints and 5 pints, we can see that 6 pints is indeed greater than 5 pints.
Therefore, the volume of 4 mayonnaise jars is greater than 5 pints.
