5. Change Units of Capacity
Complete 5 qt = ■ pt.
Method 1 Use a ratio table.
You know that there are 2 pints in 1 quart. Set up the ratio table with the measures you know. Then multiply each quantity by the same number.
Since 1 × 5 = 5, multiply 2 by 5.
Example 1

Complete 80 fl oz = ■ pt.
First, find the number of cups in 80 fluid ounces. Since 8 fluid ounces = 1 cup, divide 80 by 8.
80 ÷ 8 = 10
So, 80 fluid ounces = 10 cups. Next, find the number of pints in 10 cups. Since 2 cups = 1 pint, divide by 2.
10 ÷ 2 = 5
Answer: So, 80 fluid ounces = 5 pints.
