How many pints are in 2 quarts?

• A. 2 pints
• B. 3 pints
• C. 1 pint
• D. 4 pints

Answer: (D)

Pints and quarts relate by a simple ratio: 1 quart equals 2 pints. To find how many pints are in 2 quarts, multiply 2 quarts by 2 pints per quart: 2 × 2 = 4 pints. So two quarts equal four pints. For context, a pint is 16 fluid ounces and a quart is 32 fluid ounces, so doubling the quart amount doubles the pint amount. The other numbers come from other, smaller or larger quantities (2 pints = 1 quart; 3 pints = 1.5 quarts; 1 pint = 0.5 quart), but the exact amount for 2 quarts is 4 pints.
