For this case we have to, the statement of the question is:
Irene knows there are 2 cups in 1 pint. She writes the equation [tex]c = 2p[/tex] to find the number of cups, c, in any number of pints, p, will this equation tell him the number of cups
(the question was found in other sources)
We know that:
c: It is the variable that represents the number of cups.
p: It is the variable that represents the number of pints.
So, we can write the following equation:
[tex]2c = p[/tex]
This equation represents that there are two cups in a pint.
Thus, the number of cups is given by:
[tex]c = \frac {p} {2}[/tex]
Thus, the equation given in the statement is incorrect.
Answer:
The number of cups is given by:
[tex]c = \frac {p} {2}[/tex]
