Answer:

2 pints

Explanation:

To determine the amount of pints that Emily has more than Josh, gallons and quarts have to be converted to pints and the value is then subtracted

1. Convert gallons and quarts to pints

1 gallon = 8 pints

6 gallons = 8 x 6 = 48 pints

1 quart = 2 pints

23 quarts = 2 x 23 = 46 pints

2. Determine the difference in the amount of pints Emily has and the amount Josh has

48 pints - 46 pints = 2 pints
