Convert to find the equivalent rate.

Question

24 pints
year
=

fluid ounces
month

Answer 1

To convert 24 pints per year to fluid ounces per month, we need to use the following conversions:

1 pint = 16 fluid ounces 1 year = 12 months

Now, let's calculate the equivalent rate step by step:

1. Convert pints to fluid ounces: \[ 24 \text{ pints} \times 16 \text{ fluid ounces/pint} = 384 \text{ fluid ounces} \]

2. Convert per year to per month: Since there are 12 months in a year, we find the monthly rate: \[ \frac{384 \text{ fluid ounces}}{12 \text{ months}} = 32 \text{ fluid ounces/month} \]

Therefore, the equivalent rate of 24 pints per year is 32 fluid ounces per month.
