Let’s solve each conversion step by step using the rules given:
We know:
- 1 gallon = 4 quarts
- 1 quart = 2 pints → so 1 gallon = 8 pints (because 4 × 2)
- 1 pint = 2 cups → so 1 quart = 4 cups, and 1 gallon = 16 cups
- 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces → so 1 pint = 16 fl. oz.
Now let’s go one by one:
---
1. 1 gal = ___ pints
→ 1 gal = 4 qts, and 1 qt = 2 pints → 4 × 2 =
8 pints
2. 1 qt = ___ cups
→ 1 qt = 2 pints, and 1 pint = 2 cups → 2 × 2 =
4 cups
3. 1 pint = ___ fl. oz
→ Given directly:
16 fl. oz (since 1 cup = 8 fl. oz, and 1 pint = 2 cups → 2 × 8 = 16)
4. 2 gal = ___ qts
→ 1 gal = 4 qts → 2 × 4 =
8 qts
5. 4 pints = ___ gal
→ 8 pints = 1 gal → so 4 pints = half of that →
0.5 gal or
½ gal
6. 8 cups = ___ qts
→ 4 cups = 1 qt → 8 ÷ 4 =
2 qts
7. 6 quarts = ___ gal
→ 4 qts = 1 gal → 6 ÷ 4 = 1.5 →
1.5 gal or
1½ gal
8. 16 cups = ___ pints
→ 2 cups = 1 pint → 16 ÷ 2 =
8 pints
9. 4 gal = ___ cups
→ 1 gal = 16 cups → 4 × 16 =
64 cups
10. 2 gal = ___ cups
→ 1 gal = 16 cups → 2 × 16 =
32 cups
---
Bonus: *2 quarts and 3 gal = ___ pints*
First, convert everything to pints.
- 3 gal = 3 × 8 pints =
24 pints
- 2 quarts = 2 × 2 pints =
4 pints
- Total = 24 + 4 =
28 pints

Final Answer:
1. 8
2. 4
3. 16
4. 8
5. 0.5 (or ½)
6. 2
7. 1.5 (or 1½)
8. 8
9. 64
10. 32
* 28
