1ml = 0.04 ounce 
1 l = 1000 ml = 1000*0.04 = 40 ounce
1 litre =40 ounce
1 litre = 2.1 pints 
40 ounce = 2.1 pints
1 pint = 40/2.1 = 19.05 ounce 
soltuion = option C

onlyPlanA · Answer

1ml = 1/1000 litre

So, 1/1000 litre = 0.04 ounce
1 litre = 40 ounces
1 litre = 2.1 pints = 40 ounces
So, 1 pint = 40/2.1 ~ 19.

TheAdmissionHub · Answer

1 \, l = 2.1 \,pints  means that  1,000 \,ml = 2.1\, pints

We know that:  1 \,ml = 0.04 \,ounce  ⭢  1,000\, ml = 40 \,ounce

Therefore  2.1 \,pints = 40 \,ounce , which is in fractions:  \frac{21}{10} \,pints = 40 \,ounce .

1\, pint = 40*\frac{10}{21} \,ounce

1\, pint = \frac{400}{21}\, ounce , which can be approximated to  \frac{400}{20} , which is equal to 20.
