Answer 2

Answer: She will need 12 pint sized containers.

Explanation:

Since, '1 quart' container contains juice = 1 quart = 0.25 gallons.

⇒ Two '1 quart' container contain the juice = 2 × 0.25 = 0.50 gallons,

Let after that she used x, ' 1 pint ' containers,

Since, 1 pint container contains juice = 1 pint = 0.125 gallons,

⇒ x ' 1 pint ' containers contains juice = 0.125x gallons,

Now, if she want to make total 2 gallon of juice,

Then, 0.50 + 0.125x = 2

⇒ 0.125 x = 1.5

⇒ x = 12

Thus, She will need 12 pint sized containers.
