Drinking Two Pints Of Water

[JinnyJoan]

for my scan - anyway what is 2 pints in litres - thanks - I did look it up but it something like 1.74 - now I can't work the .74 Thanks for any answers  I bought the bottles but they come in one litre.

2 pints in only 1.14 litres.

Roughly litre plus 1/8th of a litre.

One litre is probably enough but I'd have 1 litre plus a cupful.

A liter is 1 and 3/4 pints, so will probably be enough. The exact quantity isn't critical so, as nma suggests, add an extra cupful if you're worried.

"Two and a quarter pounds of jam weigh about a kilogram."

"A litre of water's  pint and three-quarters"

[Peter Pedant]

a pint is 568 mls so two pints is around 1000 mls or a one li, if you are bad at multiplyinng

[Canary42]

.74 is three quarters as near as damnit.

If you have kitchen scales, two pint is 2.5lb or 1,137g.

No doubt you have received a similar letter to the one i have received for my scan tomorrow, JJ. It says that an hour before my scan, i am to drink "1 litre (2 pints) of water or juice" to present a full bladder for trhe scan. That would imply that 1 litre = 2 pints, when, as we have alrrady seen, it does not.

All i can say is that they had better not have me sat in the waiting room for too long with a full bladder - they might just need an umbrella.

I always take a simple route to equivalent sizes and, as near as dammit, remember 567..... One pint is 567 millilitres.

Therefore two pints is almost 2 x 567 = 1.134 .

2 pts. will more than do, Jenny.  (N.B. I'd wear a pad in case.)

1 litre of water weighs (exactly) 1 kilogram. Just saying. 🙄

[JinnyJoan]
