Pints and Quarts are measures of volume. The relationship between them is rather simple.
We know 2 pints = 1 Quart
The problem gives us the number of pints and we need to find the number of quarts. From the relationship, we see that "pints divided by 2 will give us quarts"
X can stand for the width. 2x can stand for the length since it is twice the width. The perimeter would then equal 6x. 6x is equal to 36. Divide by 6 to isolate x. X equals 6 inches. So twice the width would be 12 inches.
