\( 6 \frac { 1 } { 4 } qt = \quad pt \)

To convert \( 6 \frac{1}{4} \) quarts to pints, we need to know the conversion factor between quarts and pints. 1 quart is equal to 2 pints. Now, let's convert \( 6 \frac{1}{4} \) quarts to pints step by step. 1. First, convert the mixed number \( 6 \frac{1}{4} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 6 \frac{1}{4} = 6 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{24}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{25}{4} \] 2. Now, multiply the improper fraction by the conversion factor (2 pints per quart): \[ \frac{25}{4} \times 2 = \frac{25 \times 2}{4} = \frac{50}{4} \] 3. Simplify \( \frac{50}{4} \): \[ \frac{50}{4} = 12.5 \] Thus, \( 6 \frac{1}{4} \) quarts is equal to \( 12.5 \) pints. Therefore, the final answer is: \[ 6 \frac{1}{4} \text{ qt} = 12.5 \text{ pt} \]
