The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To convert 21 pints (pts) to gallons (gal), we need to use the given conversion factors step by step. Let’s break down the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Convert Pints to Quarts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We know that:
1 quart (qt) = 2 pints (pt).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, to convert pints to quarts, we divide the number of pints by 2:Quarts=21\u2009pts2=10.5\u2009qt.\\text{Quarts} = \\frac{21 \\, \\text{pts}}{2} = 10.5 \\, \\text{qt}.Quarts=221pts\u200b=10.5qt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Convert Quarts to Gallons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are also given that:
1 gallon (gal) = 4 quarts (qt).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To convert quarts to gallons, we divide the number of quarts by 4:Gallons=10.5\u2009qt4=2.625\u2009gal.\\text{Gallons} = \\frac{10.5 \\, \\text{qt}}{4} = 2.625 \\, \\text{gal}.Gallons=410.5qt\u200b=2.625gal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thus, 21 pints is equal to 2.625 gallons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We used two conversion factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. 1 quart = 2 pints, so we first converted the 21 pints to quarts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. 1 gallon = 4 quarts, so we then converted the quarts to gallons.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Since the final result is 2.625, there is no need for rounding in this case, as it is already to the nearest hundredth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
