2 pints are equal to how many quarts?

• A. 1 quart
• B. 2 quarts
• C. 0.5 quart
• D. 4 quarts

Answer: (A)

Understanding how many pints fit into a quart helps here. In US customary units, a quart contains two pints, so a pint is half a quart. Convert by using the ratio: 2 pints × (1 quart ÷ 2 pints) = 1 quart. This matches the idea that two pints make up one quart. The other possibilities would correspond to different amounts (two quarts would be twice as much, a half quart would be less, and four quarts would be eight pints total). Therefore, 2 pints equal 1 quart.
