Answer

The amount of blood, in gallons, that they were under their goal is 2 gallons

Therefore the hospital did not meet their goal

Explanation

The hospital was hoping to collect a total of 12 gallons of blood from the drive.

80 pints of blood was collected

1 liquid gallon = 8 liquid pints

x liquid gallons = 80 liquid pints / 8 liquid pint

x = 10 liquid gallons

Therefore the amount of blood, in gallons = 10 gallons of blood

The amount of blood, in gallons, that they were under their goal is

12 gallons - 10 gallons = 2 gallons

Therefore the hospital did not meet their goal
