1. The problem asks to convert 0.75 pounds (lbs) to tons. 2. We know 1 ton = 2000 lbs. 3. So, to convert 0.75 lbs to tons: $$\text{tons} = \frac{0.75}{2000} = 0.000375$$ 4. Next, convert 8 tons to ounces (oz). 5. 1 ton = 2000 lbs and 1 lb = 16 oz, so 1 ton = $$2000 \times 16 = 32000$$ oz. 6. Therefore, 8 tons = $$8 \times 32000 = 256000$$ oz. 7. Convert 3 pints (pts) to gallons. 8. 1 gallon = 8 pints. 9. So, 3 pts = $$\frac{3}{8} = 0.375$$ gallons. 10. Convert 9 gallons to cups. 11. 1 gallon = 16 cups. 12. So, 9 gallons = $$9 \times 16 = 144$$ cups. 13. Convert 3 miles (mi) to inches. 14. 1 mile = 5280 feet, and 1 foot = 12 inches. 15. Thus, 1 mile = $$5280 \times 12 = 63360$$ inches. 16. So, 3 miles = $$3 \times 63360 = 190080$$ inches.
