To determine how many quarts are in 10 pints, we start with the fact that there are 2 pints in 1 quart.
To convert pints to quarts, we use the conversion factor:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of quarts} = \frac{\text{Number of pints}}{\text{Pints per quart}} \][/tex]
Given there are 10 pints:
[tex]\[ 10 \text{ pints} = \frac{10 \text{ pints}}{2 \text{ pints per quart}} \][/tex]
Solving this, we find:
[tex]\[ 10 \text{ pints} = 5 \text{ quarts} \][/tex]
So, 10 pints is equal to 5 quarts.
