Question

mother is making two gallons of fruit punch how many pints o

f a punch he making?

Answer 1

Well let's turn this into an equation:

2g = p          and          g = 8 (because there are 8 pints per gallon)

2(8) = p

16 = p

Mother is making 16 pints of fruit punch.

Answer 2

For each gallon of fruit punch, there's 4 quart (1 gallon=4 quart) which is also 8 pints (1 quart=2 pints) so you multiply 8 pints by 2 which makes 16 pints
Remember this, 1 gallon is 8 pints
