Question

(32 ounces = 2 pints)
A. 2 pints
B. 3 pints
C. 4 pints
D. 6 points

Answer 1

To determine how many pints of crushed tomatoes are needed for the recipe, we can use the conversion given: 32 ounces = 2 pints.

First, we need to find out how many ounces are in one pint:

1 pint = 32 ounces / 2 = 16 ounces

Now we can convert 96 ounces into pints:

\[ \text{pints} = \frac{\text{ounces}}{16 \text{ ounces/pint}} = \frac{96 \text{ ounces}}{16 \text{ ounces/pint}} = 6 \text{ pints} \]

So, the answer is:

D. 6 pints
