Which shows the best path to convert 100 liters to pints?

A. liters [tex]$\rightarrow$[/tex] cups [tex]$\rightarrow$[/tex] pints
B. liters [tex]$\rightarrow$[/tex] kiloliters [tex]$\rightarrow$[/tex] pints
C. pints [tex]$\rightarrow$[/tex] gallons [tex]$\rightarrow$[/tex] liters
D. pints [tex]$\rightarrow$[/tex] quarts [tex]$\rightarrow$[/tex] liters



Answer :

To convert 100 liters to pints, follow these steps:

1. Convert liters to cups:

We know that 1 cup is equal to 0.237 liters. Therefore, to convert liters to cups, divide the number of liters by the number of liters per cup:

[tex]\[ \text{{number of cups}} = \frac{{\text{{number of liters}}}}{0.237} \][/tex]

Substituting in the given value of 100 liters:

[tex]\[ \text{{number of cups}} = \frac{100}{0.237} \approx 421.94 \text{ cups} \][/tex]

2. Convert cups to pints:

We know that 1 pint is equal to 2 cups. Therefore, to convert cups to pints, divide the number of cups by the number of cups per pint:

[tex]\[ \text{{number of pints}} = \frac{{\text{{number of cups}}}}{2} \][/tex]

Substituting in the calculated value of 421.94 cups:

[tex]\[ \text{{number of pints}} = \frac{421.94}{2} \approx 210.97 \text{ pints} \][/tex]

Hence, the best path to convert 100 liters to pints is:

[tex]\[ \text{{liters}} \rightarrow \text{{cups}} \rightarrow \text{{pints}} \][/tex]

With the conversions, we find that 100 liters is approximately 210.97 pints.
