1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to convert 16 pints into gallons. We need to find the equivalent number of gallons for 16 pints.

2. Solution Steps

We need to know the conversion factor between pints and gallons. There are 8 pints in 1 gallon.

$1 \text{ gallon} = 8 \text{ pints}$

Therefore, to convert pints to gallons, we divide the number of pints by

8.

$\text{gallons} = \frac{\text{pints}}{8}$

In this case, we have 16 pints.

$\text{gallons} = \frac{16}{8}$

$\text{gallons} = 2$
