Problem 3: Molly has ½ cup of milk. Michelle has 2 pints of milk. Who has more?
First, we need to compare them using the same unit. Let’s convert everything to
cups.
We know:
- 1 pint = 2 cups → so 2 pints = 2 × 2 =
4 cups
- Molly has ½ cup
Now compare:
- Molly: 0.5 cups
- Michelle: 4 cups
Clearly, 4 > 0.5
✔ Answer for Problem 3:
Michelle has more

Problem 4: Brenda has 2 pints of juice. Joy has 2 quarts of juice. Who has more?
Again, let’s convert to the same unit — let’s use
pints.
We know:
- 1 quart = 2 pints → so 2 quarts = 2 × 2 =
4 pints
- Brenda has 2 pints
Compare:
- Brenda: 2 pints
- Joy: 4 pints
4 > 2
✔ Answer for Problem 4:
Joy has more
