Question

How many pints are in \[7\] quarts?

Answer 1

Hint: This question involves the arithmetic operation like addition/ subtraction/ multiplication/ division. To solve this type of question we need to know the definition of pints and the definition of quarts. Also, we need to know the basic relation between the pint and quarts. By using the relation between pint and quarts we can easily solve the given problem.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In this question, we would convert the \[7\] quarts into the measurement of pints. Before that, we would know what is pint and what is quarts.
Pints and quarts are the units of liquids measurement.
Cup \[ + \] Cup \[ = \] pint
Two cups are equal to one pint.
Pint \[ + \] Pint \[ = \] quart
Two pints are equal to one quart
Quart \[ + \] Quart \[ + \] Quart \[ + \] Quart \[ = \] gallon
Four quarts are equal to one gallon.
From the above statements we get
Print \[ + \] print \[ = \] quart
The above equation can also be written as,
 \[2\] Pint \[ = \] quart \[ \to \left( 1 \right)\]
We get,
Pint= \[\dfrac{1}{2}\] quart \[ \to \left( 2 \right)\]
So, half of the value of quart is equal to one pint. From the given question we have to convert \[7\] quarts into pints.
So, let’s multiply \[7\] on both sides of the equation \[\left( 1 \right)\] , we get
 \[7 \times 2\] Pint \[ = \] \[7\] quarts
 \[7\] Quarts \[ = \] \[14\] pints
So, the final answer is,
 \[7\] Quarts \[ = \] \[14\] pints
So, the correct answer is “14”.

Note: Remember the basic relation between the pints and quarts, quarts and gallon, cups and pints to solve these types of questions. Note that if we multiply any one term in the RHS of the equation we would multiply the same term with the LHS of the equation at the same time. Note that one pint is equal to half of the value of a quart. These types of questions describe the operation of addition/ subtraction/ multiplication/ division.
