Question

Convert to find the equivalent rate.

4 pints
second
=

cups
minute

Answer 1

To convert 4 pints per second to cups per minute, you can use the following conversions:

1 pint = 2 cups
1 minute = 60 seconds

Now, let's do the conversion step by step:

1. Convert pints to cups:
\[
4 \text{ pints} \times 2 \text{ cups/pint} = 8 \text{ cups}
\]

2. Convert seconds to minutes:
Since we want cups per minute and we have per second, we multiply the cups by the number of seconds in a minute:
\[
8 \text{ cups/second} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 480 \text{ cups/minute}
\]

Therefore, the equivalent rate is:
\[
4 \text{ pints/second} = 480 \text{ cups/minute}
\]
