Answer:

The Garcia family have left 11 pints of milk after lunch.

Explanation

The Garcia family started the day with 2 gallons of milk.

As we know there is :

1 gallon = 8 pints or 4 quarts

Therefore, 2 gallons = 16 pints or 8 quarts

1 Quart = 2 pints

Now we place all the data in pints

The Garcia family started the day with 16 pints (2 gallons) of milk.

They drink 1 quart (2 pints) for breakfast and 3 pints for lunch.

Drank total milk = 2 pints + 3 pints = 5 pints

Now they left after lunch = 16 - 5 = 11 pints.

The Garcia family have left 11 pints of milk after lunch.
