1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 quart = 4 cups
1 cup = 2 pints
OpenStudy (anonymous):
24 pints!
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
^That is incorrect
OpenStudy (igreen):
1 gallon = 8 pints, so what's 8 * 3? @

@StudyGurl14 How is that incorrect..she got it right..but she's not supposed to give the answer.
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
Wouldn't it be 3•4•4•2?
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
I'm confused..how are there 8 pints in a gallon, if the information i provided up there^ is true?

No.
1 gallon = 8 pints.
Therefore 3 gallons = 8 * 3 = 24 pints
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
Oh...sorry then.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I am right.
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
But if there are 4 quarts in a gallon, 4 cups in a quart, and 2 pints in a cup, how is there only 8 pints in a gallon?
OpenStudy (igreen):
It's okay..everyone makes mistakes.

There are 1/2 pints in a cup..not 2.
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
Oh, I see my mistake! There are two cups in a pint, not 2 pints in a cup. Sorry everyone
OpenStudy (igreen):
So it would be:
4 * 4 * 1/2 = 8
OpenStudy (igreen):
You had the right idea!
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
I am so sorry...Okay, then 24 is most definitely the answer
