Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as there are no options to select from.

However, a general explanation is as follows.

Given

[tex]2\ cups = 1\ pint[/tex]

Required

Is [tex]c = 2p[/tex] a correct expression?

Let

[tex]c = cups[/tex]

[tex]p = pint[/tex]

So:

[tex]2\ cups = 1\ pint[/tex]

becomes

[tex]2 * c = 1 * p[/tex]

[tex]2c = p[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]c =\frac{1}{2}p[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]c = 2p[/tex] is incorrect
