1 answer

To convert from pints per year to fluid ounces per month, we can follow these steps:

  1. Convert pints to fluid ounces:

    • There are 16 fluid ounces in 1 pint.
    • Therefore, \( 84 \text{ pints} \times 16 \text{ fluid ounces/pint} = 1344 \text{ fluid ounces/year} \).
  2. Convert years to months:

    • There are 12 months in a year.
    • Therefore, \( 1344 \text{ fluid ounces/year} \div 12 \text{ months/year} = 112 \text{ fluid ounces/month} \).

So, \( 84 \text{ pints/year} \) is equivalent to \( 112 \text{ fluid ounces/month} \).
