The easiest way to do this sum is to convert all of the quantities to the same units. Pints would be best. There are 2 pints in a quart and there are 8 pints in a gallon. This means that the sum becomes 52 pints - 7 pints. The answer is obviously 45 pints. You can now convert this back into gallons, quarts and pints. 45 pints is 5 gallons (40 pints) plus 2 quarts (4 pints) and 1 pint. So the whole sum would be...
6 gal + 2 qt - 3 qt + 1 pt = 5 gal + 2 qt + 1 pt.

(10 gal 1 qt) x 2 = 20 gal 2 qt = 20.5 gal
no. 2 gal = 8 qt. 1 gal is equivalent to 4 qt.
2 pt = 1 qt ⇒ 18 qt 1 pt = 18 qt + 1 ÷ 2 qt = 181/2 qt 1 qt = 2 pt ⇒ 18 qt 1 pt = 18 x 2 pt + 1 pt = 37 pt 8 pt = 1 gal ⇒ 18 qt 1 pt = 37 pt = 37 ÷ 8 gal = 45/8 gal

V = ( 11 pt ) ( 1 qt / 2 pt ) = 5.5 quarts <-------------- V = ( 11 pt ) ( 1 qt / 2 pt ) ( 1 gal / 4 qt ) = 1.375 gal <------ ANSWER : 11 pints equal to 5.5 quarts or 1.375 gal <---------------

16. 1 cup is 8 oz and a gal. is 128. 2 cups=1 pt., 2 pt=1 qt, 4 qts=1 gal.
1 qt = 2 pt, so 2 qt * ( 2 pt/qt) = 4 pt

23 qt and 2 pt
(10 gal 1 qt) x 2 = 20 gal 2 qt = 20.5 gal
1 gallon = 4 quarts → 1 gal 1 qt - 3 qt = (4 qt + 1 qt) - 3 qt = 2 qt 2 qt = 2 ÷ 4 gal = 1/2 gal.
