The conversion factor from pints to gallons is 0.125, which means that 1 pint is equal to 0.125 gallons:

1 pt = 0.125 gal

To convert 0.5 pints into gallons we have to multiply 0.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from pints to gallons. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 pt → 0.125 gal

0.5 pt → V_(gal)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in gallons:

V_(gal) = 0.5 pt × 0.125 gal

V_(gal) = 0.0625 gal

The final result is:

0.5 pt → 0.0625 gal

We conclude that 0.5 pints is equivalent to 0.0625 gallons:

0.5 pints = 0.0625 gallons
