7 gallons 4 pints

Explanation:

2 pints = 1 quart and 4 quarts = 1 gallon, and so 8 pints = 1 gallon

Write and solve an equation of proportions to answer this question:

8 pints 1 gal

--------------- = -----------

62 pints x

Cross-multiplying, we get 8x = 62, or 7 1/2.

That's 7 gallons 4 pints.
