Question

8 quarts equals how many pints?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

The conversion factor for quarts to pints is:

`1"quart" = 2"pints"`

To find the number of pints in 8 quarts multiply each side of the equation by `color(red)(8)` to solve this problem while keeping the equation balanced:

`color(red)(8) xx 1"quart" = color(red)(8) xx 2"pints"`

`8"quarts" = 16"pints"`

There are 16 pints in 8 quarts
