The total volume in the pot, after combining 6 quarts of tomato juice and 3 pints of heavy whipping cream, is 1.875 gallons. ​​

How do we find the number of gallons in the pot?

1 quart = 0.25 gallons → 4 quarts in a gallon.

1 pint = 0.125 gallons → 8 pints in a gallon.

The tomato juice is 6 quarts. To convert quarts to gallons, we multiply by 0.25. ⇒ 6 × 0.25 = 1.5

The heavy whipping cream is 3 pints. To convert pints to gallons, we multiply by 0.125. ⇒ 3 × 0.125 = 0.375

1.5 + 0.375 = 1.875

Therefore, the total volume in the pot, after combining 6 quarts of tomato juice and 3 pints of heavy whipping cream, is 1.875 gallons. ​​
