ANSWER

520 pints = 0.89 barrels

EXPLANATION

First we have to know how many quarts are 520 pints. If 2 pints equals to one quart, then:

[tex]520\text{ pints}\cdot\frac{1\text{ quart}}{2\text{ pints}}=260\text{ quarts}[/tex]

Now we have to transform this to gallons. If 4 quarts is 1 gallon, then:

[tex]260\text{ quarts}\cdot\frac{1\text{ gallon}}{4\text{ quarts}}=65\text{ gallons}[/tex]

And finally tranform from gallons to barrels. If 73 gallons is one barrel, then:

[tex]65\text{ gallons}\cdot\frac{1\text{ barrel}}{73\text{ gallons}}\approx0.89\text{ barrels}[/tex]
