Respuesta :

[tex]13\:pints[/tex]

1) In this question we need to remind ourselves that there is one equivalence between quarts and pints, namely:

[tex]1\:quart--->2\:pint[/tex]

2) Based on that, we can write out the following set of ratios:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{6\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{2}{x} \\ \\ x=2\times6\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ x=13 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Note that there is a proportional relationship between them.

3) Thus, this is the answer.
