To convert pints to ounces, use the conversion factor:
1 pint = 16 ounces.
To find out how many ounces are in 8 1/4 pints:
- Convert 8 1/4 pints to an improper fraction:
8 1/4 pints = 8+14=324+14=3348 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{32}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{33}{4}8+41=432+41=433 pints. - Multiply the number of pints by the number of ounces per pint:
334 pints×16 ounces/pint\frac{33}{4} \text{ pints} \times 16 \text{ ounces/pint}433 pints×16 ounces/pint
= 33×164\frac{33 \times 16}{4}433×16
= 5284\frac{528}{4}4528
= 132 ounces.
The correct answer is:
C. 132 oz
