Question

Justin’s shop sells 6 1/2 quarts of ice cream each day. How much is this in pints? Write your answer as a whole number or a mixed number in simplest form.Include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

$13\:pints$

1) In this question we need to remind ourselves that there is one equivalence between quarts and pints, namely:

$1\:quart--->2\:pint$

2) Based on that, we can write out the following set of ratios:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{6\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{2}{x} \\ \\ x=2\times6\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ x=13 \end{gathered}$

Note that there is a proportional relationship between them.

3) Thus, this is the answer.
