Pints and quarts are customary measurements of liquid. We can use a conversion chart to determine how many pints are in a quart.
Why is this concept useful?
Where does this concept fit into the curriculum?
How can we use the concept:
The following conversion chart is helpful when converting from pints to quarts:
Conversion of Standard Units
1 cup = 8 fluid ounces
1 pint = 2 cups
1 quart = 2 pints
1 gallon = 4 quarts
From this chart, we can see that 1 quart = 2 pints. We can use this information to determine other problems that involve converting from quarts to pints, or from pints to quarts.
1. Find how many pints are in 3 quarts.
Solution:
Using the conversion chart, we know that 1 quart = 2 pints.
2 quarts would equal 4 pints, and 3 quarts would equal 6 pints.
3 quarts = 6 pints
2. Which sign makes the following true?
2 quarts 2 pints
A. >
B. <
C. =
Solution:
We know that 1 quart equals 2 pints, and 2 quarts = 4 pints, so the correct sign would be A. >
2 quarts > 2 pints
3. Jane used 2 pints of lemon juice for her lemonade. Carrie used 1 quart of lemon juice for her lemonade. Who used the most lemon juice?
A. Jane
B. Carrie
C. Both used the same amount of lemon juice
Solution:
Using the conversion chart, we know that 1 quart = 2 pints. Since these measurements are equal, the correct answer is C. Both used the same amount of juice.
4. Tom divides 8 quarts of juice evenly into 8 bottles. How many pints of juice are in each bottle?
Solution:
1 quart = 2 pints
so
8 quarts = 16 pints
16 pints divided into 8 bottles = 2 pints
16 ÷ 8 = 2
There are 2 pints of juice in each bottle
