Half a pint equals how many milliliters?

Half a pint equals how many milliliters?

• A. 125 mL
• B. 250 mL
• C. 500 mL
• D. 750 mL

Answer: (B)

Converting pints to milliliters in this context uses a common classroom/clinical approximation: 1 pint ≈ 500 mL. Half of 500 mL is 250 mL, so half a pint equals 250 mL. If you used the exact US pint (~473 mL), half would be about 236.5 mL, which isn’t among the choices, confirming the 500 mL pint convention here. The other values represent quarter pint (125 mL), a full pint (500 mL), and one and a half pints (750 mL).
