Before we start to answer, let's get our formulas put in.
4 qt = 1 gal.
1 c = 0.5pt (or 2 cups to 1 pt)

Now that we've gotten the formulas out of the way, let's plug in our numbers.

We have 5 qt.
Since we have 4 qt per gal, let's subtract 4 from 5.
5 - 4 = 1. We have 1 gal (due to having a whole 4) and 1 qt left over.
5 qt = 1 gal 1 qt.

We have 7 c.
Since we have 2 cups per pint, let's divide 7 by 2.
7 / 2 = 3.5

We have 3.5 Pt.

7c = 3.5pt

Your answers are:
1 gal 1 qt
3.5pt

I hope this helps!
