• D. $\text{10 pt}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\text{11 pt}$

$\text{The jug has 4 quarts and 3 pints}$ $\text{of water.}$

$\text{We have to find the total amount of}$ $\text{water in the jug in pints.}$

$\text{As we know that,}$
$\text{1 quart (qt) = 2 pints (pt)}$


$\text{Hence, 4 quarts will be}$ $\text{equal to:}$

$⟹\text{4}\times 2\text{= 8 pt}$

$\text{Total amount of water in the jug:}$
$\text{8 pt + 3 pt = 11 pt}$

$\text{Thus, the jug contains 11 pints}$ $\text{of water.}$
