Ice-Cream Palace needed 6 gallons of milk today to make their daily special. They had 6 1⁄2 quarts of skim milk and 1 pint of whole milk. How many pints of milk did they still need to buy?

First, we should convert all of the measurements into one unit.

Let's convert everything into fluid ounces since it's the smallest unit in the American Liquid Measurement system.

They had 6 1/2 quarts of skim milk.

6 1/2 quarts=208 fluid ounces.

They had 1 pint of whole milk, which is equal to 16 fluid ounces.

Next, we add both numbers 208, and 16, together.

208+16=224.

So far Ice-Cream Palace has 224 fluid ounces of milk.

Next, we'll convert 6 gallons into fluid ounces.

6 gallons=768 fluid ounces.

Next, we subtract 224 from 768.

768-224=544.

That means they need to buy 544 ounces of milk.

All we have to do now is convert 544 into pints.

544 ounces = 34 pints.

They still need to buy 34 pints of milk.

I hope you have a wonderful day! : D

Okay, so 2 cups is a pint, two pints is a quart and four quarts is a gallon.

We need to know how many more pints we need to get to 6 gallons, so I'm going to convert it all to pints, 6 1/2 quarts is 13 pints.

All together we have 14 pints, and you need 8 pints for a gallon, so in 6 gallons we need 48. 48-14=34.

We need 34 more pints of milk.
