For this case, the first thing that we must take into account is the following conversion:
[tex]1 gallon = 8 pints[/tex]
Thus, the relationship between gallons and pints is given by the following equation:
[tex]p = 8g[/tex]
Therefore, if we want to know how many pints a gallon is, we substitute g = 1, obtaining:
[tex]p = 8 (1)
p = 8 pints[/tex]
Answer:
The equation that relates the number of pints given the number of gallons is:
[tex]p = 8g[/tex]
