Question 60

3/4 pint is equal to 12 ounces (oz).

To convert pints to ounces, it is essential to note that 1 pint is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, 3/4 of a pint can be calculated as 16 oz multiplied by 3/4, resulting in 12 oz.

A) 10 oz

This option is incorrect because 10 ounces is less than 12 ounces, which is the correct conversion of 3/4 pint. Since 1 pint equals 16 ounces, 3/4 pint must yield a greater amount.

B) 12 oz

This option is correct as it accurately reflects the conversion of 3/4 pint to ounces. By calculating 16 oz multiplied by 3/4, we arrive at 12 ounces, confirming this option as the right answer.

C) 14 oz

This option is incorrect because 14 ounces does not correspond to the proper conversion of 3/4 pint. As established, 3/4 pint equals 12 ounces, and 14 ounces exceeds this amount.

D) 16 oz

This option is incorrect as it represents the full amount of 1 pint, not 3/4 pint. Since 3/4 of a pint is less than a full pint, it cannot equal 16 ounces.

Conclusion

The correct answer, 12 ounces, is derived from the proper conversion of 3/4 pint. All other options fail to accurately reflect this calculation, with 10 oz being too low, 14 oz being too high, and 16 oz representing an entire pint rather than a fraction of it.
