14 pint containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to convert gallon to quart.

2 gallons = 8 quarts

There are 2 containers that added up to 1 quart, so let's subtract the one quart from the 2 gallons (8 quarts), leaving behind 7 quarts.

The conversion between quarts and pints are 1qt=2pt, according to the key you provided. Then 7 quarts will equal to 14 pints. And therefore, she will need 14 pint containers.
