Two quarts of ice cream cost $5.48. How much does 1 pint cost? (Remember to convert : 2 pints=1 quart)

Question

$0.69 per pint
$2.74 per pint
$1.37 per pint
$4.11 per pint

Answer 1

First, we need to determine how many pints are in 2 quarts. Since there are 2 pints in 1 quart, in 2 quarts there are:

\[ 2 \text{ quarts} \times 2 \text{ pints/quart} = 4 \text{ pints} \]

Next, we calculate the cost per pint by dividing the total cost of the ice cream by the number of pints:

\[ \text{Cost per pint} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of pints}} = \frac{5.48}{4} \]

Now, we perform the division:

\[ \frac{5.48}{4} = 1.37 \]

Therefore, the cost of 1 pint of ice cream is:

\[ \boxed{1.37} \text{ per pint} \]
