nick had 1 and 3/4 gallon of milk how many pints of milk does nick have hint there are 8 pints in 1 gallon
I don't know so tell me
1 gallon = 8 pints
3/4 gallon = 3/4 * 8 = 24/4 = 6
6 + 8 = ??? pints
To find out how many pints of milk Nick has, you'll need to convert the amount of milk from gallons to pints.
First, let's convert the 1 and 3/4 gallon into pints:
1 gallon = 8 pints (as given in the hint)
So, 1 and 3/4 gallon = 8 + 8 * 3/4 pints
To calculate this, we can simplify the fraction by multiplying the denominator (4) by the whole number (8), which gives us 32. Then, we add the numerator (3), resulting in 35/4:
1 and 3/4 gallon = 8 + 35/4 pints
Now, let's convert the mixed number (1 and 3/4) to an improper fraction:
1 = 4/4, so the mixed number 1 and 3/4 can be written as 4/4 + 3/4.
Combining the fractions:
4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4
Now, let's substitute this value back into the equation:
1 and 3/4 gallon = 8 + 35/4 pints
becomes
7/4 gallon = 8 + 35/4 pints
To simplify the equation, we can convert the whole number 8 into a fraction with a common denominator of 4:
8 = 8/1, so the equation becomes:
7/4 gallon = 8/1 + 35/4 pints
Next, let's convert the gallon measurement into pints:
1 gallon = 8 pints (as given in the hint)
So, the equation becomes:
7/4 * 8 pints = 8/1 + 35/4 pints
Multiply numerator and denominator by 8:
56/4 pints = 8/1 + 35/4 pints
Now, let's add the fractions on the right side of the equation:
56/4 pints = (8 * 4 + 35)/4 pints
Simplify the numerator:
56/4 pints = (32 + 35)/4 pints
Combine the numerator:
56/4 pints = 67/4 pints
Therefore, Nick has 67/4 or 16 and 3/4 pints of milk.
