Problema Solution
a doctor told his patient to drink 4 full ups and 4/6 of a cup of medicine over a week. If each full cup was 4 *1/7 pints, how much is he going to drink over a week?

We need to converts the cups into pints.
4 4/6 = (4*6 + 4)/4 = 28/4 cups
4 1/7 = (4*7 + 1)/7 = 29/7 pints
Since
1 cup = 29/7 pints
28/4 cups = (28/4)*(29/7) pints
28/4 cups = (28*29)/(4*7) pints
28/4 cups = 29 pints
The patient is going to drink 29 pints over a week.
