Answer 1

The amount of water tammy drank in quarts is 2.5

Solution:

We have been given that on a long hike, Tammy drank 5 pints of water

We have to find in quarts

Firstly, we need to find the conversion between quarts and pints.

The conversion is given as:

`1 \text{US} \text { pint }=(1)/(2) \text{US} \text{ quarts }`

Since in this question we have been given that Tammy drank 5 pints. In quarts it can be written as follows:

`5 \text { pints }=(1)/(2) * 5 \text { quarts }`

`=(5)/(2)`

`=2.5 \text { or } 2 (1)/(2) \text { quarts }`

Therefore, the amount of water tammy drank in quarts is 2.5

In mixed form, we get
`2 (1)/(2) \text{quarts}`
