Please help don't get how to show my work

1 pint = 2 cups

5 pints = 10 cups

10 - 4 = 6 cups

He needs 6 cups (3 pints) more.

thank you so much

You're very welcome.

To solve this problem, we need to convert the units of measurement so that we can compare them.

1 pint is equal to 2 cups.

Given that Nicholas has 4 cups of cranberries, let's find out how many pints that is:

Number of pints = Number of cups / Conversion factor

Number of pints = 4 cups / 2 cups per pint
Number of pints = 2 pints

So, Nicholas has 2 pints of cranberries.

Now, let's determine how many more cranberries Nicholas needs to make the cranberry relish. We know that the recipe requires 5 pints of cranberries.

Additional pints needed = Required pints - Available pints

Additional pints needed = 5 pints - 2 pints
Additional pints needed = 3 pints

Therefore, Nicholas will need 3 more pints of cranberries to make the cranberry relish.
