He made 3 pints of his special soda
Answer:
Ghazib made 3 pints of special soda.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent volume of container.
We have been given that Ghazib fills 1/3 of the container with orange soda. He fills the remaining space with 4 cups of lemon-lime soda.
The part of container filled by lemon-lime soda would be [tex]x-\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{2}{3}x[/tex]
2/3 part of container is filled by 4 cups, so we can set an equation as:
[tex]\frac{2}{3}x=4[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}x=\frac{3}{2}\times 4[/tex]
[tex]x=3\times 2[/tex]
[tex]x=6[/tex]
Therefore, Ghazib made 6 cups of special soda.
Now we will convert cups to pints.
1 cup = 0.5 pints
[tex]\text{6 cups}=6\times 0.5\text{ pints}=3\text{ pints}[/tex]
Therefore, Ghazib made 3 pints of special soda.
