Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding the pints and fluid ounces separately gives $4 \mathrm{pt} + 8 \mathrm{pt} = 12 \mathrm{pt}$ and $10 \mathrm{fl} \mathrm{oz} + 7 \mathrm{fl} \mathrm{oz} = 17 \mathrm{fl} \mathrm{oz}$. Since there are 16 fluid ounces in a pint, 17 fluid ounces is equivalent to 1 pint and 1 fluid ounce, making the total $12 \mathrm{pt} + 1 \mathrm{pt} + 1 \mathrm{fl} \mathrm{oz} = 13 \mathrm{pt} 1 \mathrm{fl} \mathrm{oz}$.
