The Garcia family started the day with 2 gallons of milk. They drank 111 quart of milk for breakfast and 3 pints for lunch.

How many pints of milk did the Garcia family have left after lunch?

3 pints

There are 8 pints of milk in 1 gallon. There is also 4 quarts in 1 gallon. So each quart is 2 pints.
After breakfast they had 3 quarts of the original gallon left since 4 - 1 = 3.
3 quarts is the same as 6 pints. They drank 3 pints at lunch. This means 6 - 3 = 3. After lunch, there were 3 pints left.
