Question

72 pints is equal to how many gallons?

Answer 1

Hint: In the given question, we have been asked how many gallons there are in \[72\] pints. For solving this question, we are first going to convert a single standard unit to both of these measurements. Then we are just going to divide the two by making the given adjustments.

Complete step by step answer
We are going to convert liters to gallons and pints.
\[1\] liter = \[2.113\] pints
\[1\] liter = \[0.264\] gallons
This means \[2.113\] pints \[ = 0.264\] gallons, or,
\[1\] gallon \[ = 8\] pints
Hence, \[72\] pints \[ = 9\] gallons

Thus, there are \[9\] gallons in \[72\] pints.

Note:
In the given question, we had to convert pints to gallons. We did that by writing the conversion factor of the two units in the form of one standard unit and then did some operations to get the relation between them. We need to know that the units ‘gallons’ and ‘pints’ are not metric units, so they cannot be converted to other such units by multiplying them with the power of ten. They are imperial units and so, we need to pay attention and specifically remember the conversion value so that we can convert it to other units and not get stuck.
