How many pints are in 1 quart?

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

Answer: (D)

Two pints make one quart. In the standard liquid measures, a pint is half of a quart, or equivalently, a quart is twice as big as a pint. A quick check: a pint is 16 fluid ounces, a quart is 32 fluid ounces, so one quart equals 2 pints. Therefore, the number of pints in 1 quart is two. The other options don’t fit because they would correspond to different quart amounts: one pint is half a quart, three pints is one and a half quarts, and four pints is two quarts.
