First lets convert the pints to cups.

1 pint = 2 cups
12 pints = ? cups

Now lets multiply to find out how many cups are in 12 pints.

12 × 2 = 24
24 cups in 12 pints.

Now lets look at the information we have.

4 cups of water per 9 servings

Now lets divide to see how many time 24 goes into 4.

24 ÷ 4 = 6

Now lets multiply:-

6 × 9 = 54

So, 54 servings of water fir in 12 pints of water.

Hope I helped ya!!!
