Question

Isabel's shop sells 5 1/2 quarts of ice cream each day. How much is this in pints?

Answer 1

11 pints

Explanation:

Each gallon is 4 quarts, and each quart is 2 pints. If a quart is 2 pints, then half a quart is 1 pint. Basically to convert, you just multiply the amount of quarts by two, and then that's the number of pints. 5 1/2 times 2 is 11, so 5.5 quarts is 11 pints.

Answer 2

13 pints.

Explanation:

1 US liquid quart = 2 US liquid pint

6.5 quarts = how many pints?

Cross multiplying gives:

× 2 pints = 13 pints
