What is the conversion from pints to liters?

  1. 0.24 liters

  2. 0.5 liters

  3. 0.75 liters

  4. 1 liter

The correct answer is: 0.5 liters

To convert pints to liters, it’s essential to know the conversion factor: 1 pint is approximately equal to 0.473 liters. Therefore, if we consider that 2 pints equal roughly 0.946 liters, this closely approximates 1 liter, which means that for a single pint, the conversion is a bit less than half a liter. Given that 0.5 liters is half of 1 liter and is the closest to half of a pint, the conversion of pints to liters indeed suggests that 1 pint is roughly translated to about 0.5 liters. This makes option B a logical choice when converting approximately 1 pint to liters.
