Answer:

34 pints of milk

Explanation:

First, we would want to express the units.

1 gallon of milk is 4 quarts of milk

1 gallon of milk is 8 pints of milk

6 1/2 quarts of milk would be 1.625 galloons

Left-over milk needed after the quarts and pints of milk:

6-1.625-1/8 = 4.25 gallons

Because 1 gallon is 8 pints of milk, we will multiple 4.25 with 8,

which is 34 pints of milk
