Answer

10 pint

Work Step by Step

5 qt = pt 2 pints (pt) = 1 quart (qt) Use a unit fraction with pint (the unit for your answer) in the numerator, and quart (the unit being changed) in the denominator. Because 2 pints (pt) = 1 quart (qt), the necessary unit fraction is (2 pint)/(1 quart) Multiply 5 qt times the unit fraction. 5 * (2 pint)/(1 quart) = 10 pint
