Answer 1

first of all you need convert the gallon in pints
for this you need to know that 1 gallon = 8 pints

Answer 2

As some-one has already stated :

" 1 gallon = 8 pints"

Multiply the (.14) gallons by the (8) pints.


\[.14\times8=1.12\]

Multiply the pints which is (1.12) by the seconds which is (50)

\[1.12\times50=56\]

The running tap dispensed (56) pints of water after (50) seconds.
