(9/2) / (1/8)
(9/2) * 8 = 72/2 = 36 servings
4.5 gal * 8 pt/gal = 36.0 pt
Write conversion factors so the units you do not want (in this case gal) cancel top and bottom.
To find out how many pint-sized servings can be made from 4 1/2 gallons of ice, we need to convert the gallons to pints.
First, we will find the total number of pints in the 4 gallons. Since 1 gallon is equal to 8 pints (as given in the question), we can multiply 4 by 8:
4 gallons * 8 pints/gallon = 32 pints
Next, we need to determine the number of pints in the remaining 1/2 gallon. Since 1/2 gallon is equivalent to 4/8 gallons (which is also equal to 1/2 gallon), we can multiply 1/2 by 8:
1/2 gallon * 8 pints/gallon = 4 pints
Now, we can add the pints from both parts:
32 pints + 4 pints = 36 pints
Therefore, there can be a total of 36 pint-sized servings made from 4 1/2 gallons of ice.
To find out how many pint-sized servings can be made from 4 1/2 gallons of ice, we need to convert gallons to pints and then divide.
First, let's convert 4 1/2 gallons to pints:
1 gallon is equal to 8 pints (since 1 pint is 1/8 of a gallon).
So, 4 1/2 gallons is equal to (4 * 8) + (1/2 * 8) = 32 + 4 = 36 pints.
Therefore, there can be 36 pint-sized servings made from 4 1/2 gallons of ice.
