Answer 1

To convert gallons to pints, you can use the conversion factor that there are 8 pints in 1 gallon. The rule you can use is:

\[
\text{Number of pints} = \text{Number of gallons} \times 8
\]

### Input Output Table

| Number of gallons | Number of pints |
|-------------------|------------------|
| ? | ? |

### Example Calculation

If you input 1 gallon:

\[
\text{Number of pints} = 1 \times 8 = 8 \text{ pints}
\]

If you input 2 gallons:

\[
\text{Number of pints} = 2 \times 8 = 16 \text{ pints}
\]

So, any number of gallons multiplied by 8 will give you the corresponding number of pints. You can replace the "?" in the table with actual values to see the conversion.
