The amount of water tammy drank in quarts is 2.5
Solution:
We have been given that on a long hike, Tammy drank 5 pints of water
We have to find in quarts
Firstly, we need to find the conversion between quarts and pints.
The conversion is given as:
[tex]1 \text{US} \text { pint }=\frac{1}{2} \text{US} \text{ quarts }[/tex]
Since in this question we have been given that Tammy drank 5 pints. In quarts it can be written as follows:
[tex]5 \text { pints }=\frac{1}{2} \times 5 \text { quarts }[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]=2.5 \text { or } 2 \frac{1}{2} \text { quarts }[/tex]
Therefore, the amount of water tammy drank in quarts is 2.5
In mixed form, we get [tex]2 \frac{1}{2} \text{quarts}[/tex]
