Pints to quarts conversion explanation

To convert between pints and quarts in the same system of measurement, we just need to remember the following relationship:

1 pt = qt

1 qt = 2 pt

Based on this relationship, to convert from pints to quarts, we need to divide a measurement in pints by 2. To convert from quarts to pints, we need to multiply by 2 instead.

Note that this is true as long as we are using the same system of measurement. If we are trying to convert between US pints and imperial quarts, we need to take into consideration the definition of their gallons.
