To determine how many ounces are in 11 pints based on the conversion rates provided in the chart, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
From the chart, we see:
- 3 pints = 48 ounces
- 11 pints = ? ounces
We can set up the proportion as follows:
\[ \frac{3 \text{ pints}}{48 \text{ ounces}} = \frac{11 \text{ pints}}{x \text{ ounces}} \]
We can cross-multiply to solve for \( x \):
\[ 3x = 11 \times 48 \]
Calculating \( 11 \times 48 \):
\[ 11 \times 48 = 528 \]
Now we can set the equation:
\[ 3x = 528 \]
Dividing both sides by 3 gives:
\[ x = \frac{528}{3} = 176 \]
Thus, the number of ounces in 11 pints is 176.
The correct answer is 176.
