A recipe book shows measurement conversions for cups to pints. It shows that 3 cups converts to 1.5 pints and 5 cups converts to 2.5 pints.

Write an equation that shows the proportional relationship between pints and cups where p represents pints and n represents cups.

p equals 3 over 1.5 times n
n equals 1.5 over 3 times p
p = 0.5n
n = 0.5p

1 answer

p = 0.5n
