A recipe needs 128 ounces of beans. How many pints of beans are needed to make this recipe? (32 ounces \( =2 \) pints) A 5 pints B 6 pints C 7 pints 8 pints

To find out how many pints of beans you need for 128 ounces, you can use the conversion that 32 ounces equals 2 pints. First, divide 128 by 32 to figure out how many 32-ounce portions are in 128 ounces. That gives you 4. Since each portion is 2 pints, you multiply 4 by 2, resulting in 8 pints. So the correct answer is 8 pints!
