Question

A bottle has $\frac{1}{4}$ cup of orange juice. Express the amount of juice in the bottle in pints.

• A. 1 pint
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$ pint
• C. $\frac{1}{8}$ pint
• D. $\frac{1}{4}$ pint

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{8}$ pint

Capacity of the cup = $\frac{1}{4}$ cup

We know:
1 pint = 2 cups
or 2 cups = 1 pint

$\therefore$ 1 cup = $\frac{1}{2}$ pint
$\therefore$ $\frac{1}{4}$ cup = $\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8}$ pint

Thus, the amount of juice in the bottle in pints is $\frac{1}{8}$ pint.
