You need to remember these throughout this lesson:
8 ounces = 1 cup
2 cups = 1 pint
16 ounces = 1 pint
ounces | pints
----------|---------
16 | 1
32 | 2
48 | 3
64 | 4
|
Simplifying ounces into pints, cups, and ounces is done like this:
A. 57 ounces = ?? pints, ?? cups, ?? ounces
1) Divide: 57/16 = 3 r9 (find pints by dividing by 16)
2) Divide Remainder: 9 / 8 = 1 r1 (find cups by dividing by 8)
3) Remainder is leftover ounces.
ANSWER: 3 pints, 1 cups, 1 ounces.
B. 75 ounces = ?? pints, ?? cups, ?? ounces
1) 75/16 = 4 r11
2) 11/8 = 1 r3
ANSWER: 4 pints, 1 cups, 3 ounces.
