1. **State the problem:** Latoya's shop sells $7 \frac{1}{2}$ quarts of ice cream each day. We need to convert this amount into pints. 2. **Recall the conversion formula:** $$1 \text{ quart} = 2 \text{ pints}$$ This means to convert quarts to pints, multiply the number of quarts by 2. 3. **Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:** $$7 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{(7 \times 2) + 1}{2} = \frac{15}{2}$$ 4. **Multiply by 2 to convert quarts to pints:** $$\frac{15}{2} \times 2 = \frac{15}{\cancel{2}} \times \cancel{2} = 15$$ 5. **Interpret the result:** $15$ pints is the equivalent amount. **Final answer:** $15$ pints
