Answer:

Joy is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1 cup=1/2 pint

step 1

Convert pint to cups

Divide 4/5 pint by 1/2 to convert to cups

so

[tex]\frac{4}{5}:\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8}{5}\ cups[/tex]

step 2

Convert to mixed number

[tex]\frac{8}{5}\ cups=\frac{5}{5}+\frac{3}{5}=1\frac{3}{5}\ cups[/tex]

therefore

Joy is correct
