To compare 100 fluid ounces (fl oz) and 16 pints (pt), we first need to convert pints into fluid ounces. In the US measurement system, 1 pint is equal to 16 fluid ounces. Therefore, to find out how many fluid ounces are in 16 pints, we perform the following calculation:
16 pints x 16 fluid ounces/pint = 256 fluid ounces.
Now, we can compare the two quantities directly: 100 fl oz versus 256 fl oz.
Clearly, 256 fluid ounces is greater than 100 fluid ounces. So, in conclusion, 16 pints is significantly larger than 100 fluid ounces.
