Seen 4 gallons are being turned into pints it easy just need to do 4x8 which = 32 because 1 gallons = 8 pints!

Answer: There are 32 bottles that are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of gallons to pints = 1:8

let the number of bottles be x.

For 4 gallons of chocolate milk, x bottles are needed.

Since there is direct proportion,

[tex]\frac{4}{x}=\frac{1}{8}\\\\x=4\times 8=32\\\\x=32[/tex]

Hence, there are 32 bottles that are needed.
