Question

unit | symbol | fact
fluid ounce | fl oz |
cup | c | 1 c=8 fl oz
pint | pt | 1 pt=2 c
quart | qt | 1 qt=2 pt
gallon | gal | 1 gal=4 qt
fill in the blanks.
8 pt = \square qt
7 c = \square fl oz

Explanation:

Step1: Convert pints to quarts

Given \(1\ \text{qt} = 2\ \text{pt}\), to find how many quarts are in 8 pints, we divide the number of pints by the number of pints in a quart. So, \(8\ \text{pt} \div 2\ \text{pt/qt} = 4\ \text{qt}\).

Step2: Convert cups to fluid ounces

Given \(1\ \text{c} = 8\ \text{fl oz}\), to find how many fluid ounces are in 7 cups, we multiply the number of cups by the number of fluid ounces in a cup. So, \(7\ \text{c} \times 8\ \text{fl oz/c} = 56\ \text{fl oz}\).

Answer:

For \(8\ \text{pt}=\square\ \text{qt}\), the answer is \(4\).
For \(7\ \text{c}=\square\ \text{fl oz}\), the answer is \(56\).
