    The teacher will have 5 pints left.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    One pint has 16 fluid ounces, therefore if the teacher got 18 pints he has a total of:

    lake water = 18*16 = 288 fluid ounces

    If each student use 4 fluid ounces, and there are 52 students the class will use:

    used = 52*4 = 208 fluid ounces

    And the remainder will be:

    remainder = 288 - 208 = 80 fluid ounces

    remainder = 80/16 = 5 pints

    The teacher will have 5 pints left.
