What is the total amount of quarts that were made?
After you find this number, multiply by two to find out how many pints were made.

The easiest way to do this would be to convert the fractions to decimals.
1 1/2 = 1.5
2 3/4 = 2.75
2.75+1.5=5.25 quarts
There are 2 pints for every quart
Therefore,
5.25*2=10.5 pints

aveline · Answer

I made a math error o3o
2.75+1.5 is not 5.25, it's 4.25
You multiply 4.25*2=8.5, which is 8 1/2 pints
Sorry about that
