Question

How do you convert \[2\] pints to fluid ounces?

Answer 1

Hint: We know that pints to fluid ounces are basically of two types US and UK standards: \[1\] US fluid pint which is equal to $16$ fluid ounces (fl oz). In order to convert pint to fluid ounces, we must multiply pint value by digit $16$ Basically pints to fluid ounces formula is given by;
\[fluid\text{ }ounces\text{ }=\text{ }pint\text{ }\times \text{ }16\].

Complete step-by-step answer:
Firstly we have to multiply by appropriate conversion factor that is pint to fluid ounces. After that we use international standard measurements from US, that we know that there are two standard measurements uk and us, whereas uk one has \[1\text{ }pint\text{ }=\text{ }20\text{ }fluid\text{ }ounces\]
\[1\text{ }pt\text{ }=\text{ }16\text{ }fl\text{ }oz\]
Therefore the conversion factor is of either \[\dfrac{1pt}{16\text{ }fl\text{ }oz}or\text{ }\dfrac{16\text{ }fl\text{ }oz}{1\text{ }pt}\]
\[2pt\text{ }\times \text{ }\dfrac{16\text{ }fl\text{ }oz}{1pt}\text{ }=\text{ }32\text{ }fl\text{ }oz\]
We have the formula which is given by;
\[fluid\text{ }ounces\text{ }=\text{ }pint\text{ }\times \text{ }16\]
For example, in order to calculate how much fluid ounces is in $5$ pint of water we need to multiply $5$ by $16$ which gives us a total of $80$ fl oz is $5$ pint of water.
\[1\text{ }Pint\text{ }=\text{ }16\text{ }Fluid\text{ }Ounces\]
If we use UK measurements the relation is given by:
\[1\text{ }pt\text{ }=\text{ }20\text{ }fl\text{ }oz\]

Note: Conversion factors are required because while doing the numerical we have different values in different units and while doing the calculation all the units should be the same, so we have to either multiply or by dividing the given value with unit of conversion value so that to convert their unit from one form to another vice versa.
