A bottle holds 2 pints. A carton holds 3 cups. What is the total the two containers hold in fluid ounces?

Answer 1

1. 1 pint = 26 oz
2. 1 cup = 8.115 oz
3. Multiply by 2 to find 2 pints = 32 oz
4. Multiply by 3 to find 3 cups = 24.35
5. Add them together: 32+24.35=56.35

Answer 2

A bottle holds 2 pints. A carton holds 3 cups. What is the total the two containers hold in fluid ounces?

The answer needs to be in ounces so convert the pints and cups to ounces to solve. There are 16 ounces in a pint and 8 ounces in a cup. 2 pints would be 2 X 16 ounces and 3 cups would be 3 X 8 ounces. Do the multiplication and add the totals to answer the problem.
