Jake needs 8 cups of milk to make a chocolate shake for his family. His measuring device measures liquids by the pint. If 1 pint is equal to 2 cups, how many pints should Jake measure?
If you would like to know how many pints should Jake measure, you can calculate this using the following step:
1 pint ... 2 cups
x pints = ? ... 8 cups
1 8 = 2 x
8 = 2 * x /2
x = 8/2 = 4 pints
The correct result would be 4 pints.
