Question

here are some facts about units of volume.
unit\tsymbol\tfact
fluid ounce\tfl oz\t
cup\tc\t1 c=8 fl oz
pint\tpt\t1 pt=2 c
quart\tqt\t1 qt=2 pt
gallon\tgal\t1 gal=4 qt
fill in the blanks.
8 pt = \square qt
7 c = \square fl oz

Explanation:

Step1: Convert pints to quarts

We know that \(1\ \text{qt} = 2\ \text{pt}\), so to find how many quarts are in 8 pints, we divide the number of pints by the number of pints in a quart.
\(8\ \text{pt} \div 2\ \text{pt/qt} = 4\ \text{qt}\)

Step2: Convert cups to fluid ounces

We know that \(1\ \text{c} = 8\ \text{fl oz}\), so to find how many fluid ounces are in 7 cups, we multiply the number of cups by the number of fluid ounces in a cup.
\(7\ \text{c} \times 8\ \text{fl oz/c} = 56\ \text{fl oz}\)

Answer:

\(8\ \text{pt} = \boxed{4}\ \text{qt}\)
\(7\ \text{c} = \boxed{56}\ \text{fl oz}\)
