Answer 2

5 pints of milk.

Explanation:

Note the unit conversion:

1 quart = 2 pint.

There are 3 quarts of milk. Multiply 3 with 2 to get the amount of pints in the jug:

3 x 2 = 6

The jug of milk has 6 pints of milk. Michael then pours 1 pint of milk. Subtract 1 from 6:

6 - 1 = 5

There are 5 pints of milk left in the jug.
