Answer 2

Answer: 6 quarts

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we are asked to convert 12 pints into quarts which means we use the conversion factor for pints and quarts.

Conversion factor ⇒ 2 pints = 1 quart

Next, notice that we are converting from a smaller unit "pints" to a smaller unit "quarts" and when we convert from a smaller unit to a larger unit we divide by the conversion factor.

So, we divide 12 by our conversion factor which is 2.

12 ÷ 2 = 6

Therefore, 12 pints = 6 quarts.
