Question

When you convert fron pints to quarts why do you divide

Answer 1

We divide when converting pints to quarts because pints are smaller units of measurements than quarts, so when converting pints to quarts, our answer will be getting smaller. This is because 2 pints= 1 quart, so since we are trying to find the amount of quarts that the pints can make up, we will always divide the pints by 2. (since 2 pints= 1 quart)
