A. a pint is what fraction of a quart) what fraction of a gallon is a quartc) what fraction of a gallon is a pintd) the answers to parts a-c show that one half of one fourth equals what fraction?

Respuesta :

A. One pint is equal to 0.5 quart. Therefore, a pint is one-half of a quart.
B. One quart is equal to 0.25 of a gallon or equal to one-fourth. 
C. One pint is equal to 0.125 gallon. Therefore, a pint is one-eighth of a quart. 

D. From the answers to the above items, the one-half of one-fourth is equal to one-eighth. 

Answer:

Part(a) a pint is 1/2 of a quart.

Part(b) a quart is 1/4 of a gallon.

Part(c) a pint is 1/8 of a gallon.

Part(a) one half of one fourth equals 1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Part (a) we need to find a pint is what fraction of a quart.

1 pint = 0.5 quart

In fraction.

1 pint = 1/2 quart

Thus, a pint is 1/2 of a quart.

Part (b) we need to find what fraction of a gallon is a quart.

1 gallon = 4 quart

1/4 gallon = 1 quart

Thus, a quart is 1/4 of a gallon.

Part (c) we need to find what fraction of a gallon is a pint.

From part (a)

1 pint = 1/2 quart or 2 pint = 1 quart

From part (b)

1 gallon = 4 quart

by Using the above relation

1 gallon = 4 (2 pint)

1 gallon = 8 pint

1/8 gallon = 1 pint

Hence, a pint is 1/8 of a gallon.

Part (c) we need to calculate one half of one fourth equals what fraction.

The above statement can be written as:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Hence, one half of one fourth equals to one-eighth.
