Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
We know there are 5 quarts.
There are 2 pints for each quart.
This can be though of as a ratio of:
2 : 1
There are 5 quarts, which is 5 times bigger than the ratio of 1.
So this means we need to mutliply both sides of the ratio by 5, to make the quarts equivelent to 5:
2*5 : 1*5
=
10 : 5
So for every 5 quarts there are 10 pints.
Hope this helps!
