A doctor told his patient to drink 3 full cups and 1/2 of a cup of medicine over a week.

If each full cup was 4 pints, how much is he going to drink over the week?

The patient is going to drink 14 pints of medicine over a week

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided to answer the question correctly:

Amount of medicine the doctor told his patient to drink over a week = 3 1/2 cups

1 full cup = 4 pints

2. How much is the patient going to drink over the week?

For answering this question, we multiply this way:

3 1/2 = 3.5

3.5 * 4 = 14

The patient is going to drink 14 pints of medicine over a week
