Which proportion could you use to convert 88 pints to gallons?

Answer 1

To convert pints to gallons, you can use the proportion:

1 gallon / 8 pints = x gallons / 88 pints

Dividing both sides by 8, we get:

1/8 = x/88

To solve for x (gallons), we can cross-multiply:

8x = 1 * 88

8x = 88

Dividing both sides by 8, we find that:

x = 11

So, you can use the proportion:

1 gallon / 8 pints = 11 gallons / 88 pints

to convert 88 pints to gallons.
