1.

1. 240 ml = ______________ pt
2. 3 ½ fl oz = ______________ ml

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume - conversion factors

1 L = 1000 mL, 1 pt = 473.176 mL, 1 fl oz = 29.5735 mL

Step2: Convert 240 mL to liters

We know that $V_{L}=\frac{V_{mL}}{1000}$, so for $V_{mL} = 240$ mL, $V_{L}=\frac{240}{1000}=0.24$ L

Step3: Convert 240 mL to pints

We know that $V_{pt}=\frac{V_{mL}}{473.176}$, so for $V_{mL}=240$ mL, $V_{pt}=\frac{240}{473.176}\approx0.51$ pt

Step4: Convert 3.5 fl oz to mL

We know that $V_{mL}=V_{fl - oz}\times29.5735$, so for $V_{fl - oz}=3.5$ fl oz, $V_{mL}=3.5\times29.5735 = 103.50725\approx103.51$ mL

Answer:

1. 0.24
2. 0.51
3. 103.51
