Answer:
A, D
Step-by-step explanation:
An appropriate ratio for cups and pints is ...
(1 pint)/(2 cups) or (2 cups)/(1 pint)
The similar ratio involving the unknown will match the units of numerator and denominator to those of the unknown ratio:
[tex]\dfrac{1\text{ pint}}{2\text{ cups}}=\dfrac{4\text{ pints}}{x\text{ cups}}\\\\ \text{or}\\\\ \dfrac{2\text{ cups}}{1\text{ pint}}=\dfrac{9\text{ cups}}{x\text{ pints}}[/tex]
These formulations of the problem match the first and last choices: A and D.

Additional comment
I would formulate the proportion so the unknown (x) is in the numerator. This makes the solution be one step.
