Consider the question. 4.5 gallons of coffee were divided among 18 thermoses. Genevieve drank 3 thermoses. How many pints of coffee did Genevieve drink?
 What is the step-by-step reasoning process to arrive at the answer: 6?
4.5 gallons = 4.5 * 8 pints = 36 pints. 36 / 18 = 2 pints. Genevieve drank 2 * 3 = 6 pints of coffee.
