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.
