kim drinks 16 cups of orange juice per week. how many pints is that?

Explanation:

First Problem (31 cups to pints)

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that \( 1 \) pint \( = 2 \) cups, so to convert cups to pints, we divide the number of cups by \( 2 \).

Step2: Perform the conversion

For \( 31 \) cups, the number of pints is \( \frac{31}{2}=15.5 \).

Step1: Recall the conversion factors

We know that \( 1 \) mile \( = 5280 \) feet and \( 1 \) foot \( = 12 \) inches. So first, convert miles to feet, then feet to inches.

Step2: Convert miles to feet

For \( 1.5 \) miles, the number of feet is \( 1.5\times5280 = 7920 \) feet.

Step3: Convert feet to inches

Now, convert feet to inches. The number of inches is \( 7920\times12=95040 \) inches.

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that \( 1 \) pint \( = 2 \) cups, so to convert cups to pints, we divide the number of cups by \( 2 \).

Step2: Perform the conversion

For \( 16 \) cups, the number of pints is \( \frac{16}{2} = 8 \).

Answer:

\( 15.5 \) pints
