Answer 1

ANSWER

$7\text{ }cups$

EXPLANATION

We want to convert from pints to cups.

To convert from pints to cups, apply the conversion rate:

$1\text{ }pint=2\text{ }cups$

Therefore, 3¹/₂ pints of milk to cups is:

$\begin{gathered} 3\frac{1}{2}\text{ }pints=3\frac{1}{2}*2\text{ }cups \\ \\ \Rightarrow7\text{ }cups \end{gathered}$

That is the answer.
