How to convert pints to quarts
quarts = pints ÷ 2
1 US liquid pint is 1/8 US gallon (28.875 cubic inches). 1 US liquid quart is 1/4 US gallon (57.75 cubic inches).
The factor is exact in both directions: 1 pt = 0.5 qt and 1 qt = 2 pt. Nothing is rounded until you choose how many decimals to show.
Worked example: 3 pt
- Start with the value in pints: 3 pt.
- Divide by 2, because 1 quart = 2 pints: 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5 qt.
