How many pints are in 1 quart?

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

Answer: (A)

This question tests how pints relate to quarts in common US liquid measure. A quart is twice as large as a pint, so 1 quart = 2 pints. You can check by stepping through the usual chain: 1 gallon = 4 quarts, and each quart equals 2 pints, giving 1 quart = 2 pints (and 32 fluid ounces, or 4 cups). So the amount in one quart is two pints. The other options don’t fit because one pint is only half a quart, while three pints and four pints exceed a quart (1.5 quarts and 2 quarts, respectively).
