Question
I have a bunch of math problems I desperately need help with. It is conversion.
1. 192 fl oz = pt
2. 15 pt= c
3. 240 fl oz= c
4. 32 qt = gal
5. 10 qt= c
6. 48 c = qt
7. 72 pt = gal
8. 128 fl oz= pt
Please help me with the above. I do not know what I am doing. Teach me what is the easiest way to do this and if there is a website with a table I can look at

How would I do the above math problems?
Ms. Sue
As you can see from the above chart, 1 pint = 16 ounces
192/16 = 12 pints
Take it from there.
192/16 = 12 pints
Take it from there.

So I think if I am not mistaken on number three 1 pint equals 2 cups but the math question is how 15 pints equal how many cups so 15*2=30
I am still confused on how to figure out always which operation?

Number three I think in my mind that one cup is 8 fl oz so take 240/8=30
Ms. Sue
Yes. 15 pints = 30 cups
To decide whether to multiply or divide, see whether your answer should be large or small.
For instance, for 3, is the number of cups larger or smaller than 240 fl. oz.?

Let me think about what you just wrote to answer that correctly.
For number 5
32 qt= 8 gal
I am thinking in my mind 1 gal equals 4 qt
So 32/8
For number 5
32 qt= 8 gal
I am thinking in my mind 1 gal equals 4 qt
So 32/8
Ms. Sue
You've got it! :-)

Number 6
10 qt = 40 cups
1 qt equals 4 cups
So then 10*4=40 cups
10 qt = 40 cups
1 qt equals 4 cups
So then 10*4=40 cups
Ms. Sue
Right
Patrick
I am confused on number 8.
72 pt= Gal
72 pt= Gal

I am sorry I am a bit slow on this
Ms. Sue
A pint is smaller than a gallon, right?
Two pints would not fill a gallon jug. It would take 8 pints to fill a gallon.
