You can put this solution on YOUR website!
27 1/4 cups = how many pints
Change to an improper fraction
4*27 + 1 = 109%2F4 cups
Two cups in a pint, divide the cups by 2 to find pints
you can so this by multiplying by 1/2
1%2F2 * 109%2F4 = 109%2F8
divide 109 by 8: results: 13 remainder 5
13 5%2F8 pints
