Answer 1

Hello!

1 cup = 0.5 pints

1 cup = 0.25 quarts

That means that 9 cups are equivalent to 4.5 pints and 2.25 quarts of liquid.

1 pint = 2 cups

1 pint = 0.5 quarts

That means that 5 pints are equivalent to 10 cups and 2.5 quarts of liquid.

1 quart = 4 cups

1 quart = 2 pints

That means that 2 quarts are equivalent to 8 cups and 4 pints of liquid.

FINAL ANSWER:

Judging by our calculations, Container B has the greatest capacity.
