Subtract: 8 qt − 4 qt 1 pt = _____ qt _____ pt

Understand units: Step 1: Understand the units and what needs to be subtracted. We have 8 quarts and need to subtract 4 quarts 1 pint from it. Subtract quarts: Step 2: Subtract the quarts. 8 qt - 4 qt = 4 qt Subtract pints: Step 3: Subtract the pints. Since there are no pints mentioned in the 8 quarts, we assume it to be 0 pints. 0 pt - 1 pt = -1 pt, which isn't possible in this context, so we need to adjust the quarts. We convert 1 quart into pints (1 qt = 2 pt), so now we have: 4 qt = 3 qt + 2 pt (after conversion) Now subtract the 1 pint: 2 pt - 1 pt = 1 pt

Understand units: Step $1$ : Understand the units and what needs to be subtracted. $\newline$ We have $8$ quarts and need to subtract $4$ quarts $1$ pint from it.
Subtract quarts: Step $2$ : Subtract the quarts. $\newline$ $8 \, \text{qt} - 4 \, \text{qt} = 4 \, \text{qt}$
Subtract pints: Step $3$ : Subtract the pints. $\newline$ Since there are no pints mentioned in the $8$ quarts, we assume it to be $0$ pints. $\newline$ $0 \text{ pt} - 1 \text{ pt} = -1 \text{ pt}$ , which isn't possible in this context, so we need to adjust the quarts. $\newline$ We convert $1$ quart into pints ( $1 \text{ qt} = 2 \text{ pt}$ ), so now we have: $\newline$ $4 \text{ qt} = 3 \text{ qt} + 2 \text{ pt}$ (after conversion) $\newline$ Now subtract the $1$ pint: $\newline$ $2 \text{ pt} - 1 \text{ pt} = 1 \text{ pt}$
