Explanation:

Question 36 (Subfield: Mathematics - Arithmetic)

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

1 pint = 16 fluid ounces.

Step2: Divide total fluid ounces by ounces per pint

We have 24 fluid ounces. To find the number of pints, calculate \( \frac{24}{16} \).
Simplify \( \frac{24}{16}=\frac{3}{2} = 1.5=1\frac{1}{2} \) pints.

Step1: Identify the percentage formula

To find a percentage of a number, use \( \text{Part}=\text{Percentage}\times\text{Whole} \).

Step2: Calculate the number of trees

The percentage is 40% (or 0.4) and the whole is 500 trees.
So, \( 0.4\times500 = 200 \).

Step1: Calculate books with fewer than 100 pages

20% of 35 books. Calculate \( 0.2\times35 = 7 \).

Step2: Calculate books with 100 pages or more

80% of 35 books. Calculate \( 0.8\times35 = 28 \).

Answer:

C. \( 1\frac{1}{2}\text{pt} \)
