There are 12/5 litres which must be multiplied by 7/4. That gives us 84/20. Divide both numbers by 4 and you get 21/5, or 4 and 1/5.
At least I hope so :)
And for Sazi, I hope I've explained it clearly enough that you can talk your teacher through it.

First you have to come up with the improper fraction for the amount of liters:
2 2/5 = 5/5 + 5/5 + 2/5 = 12/5
Then you have to come up with the improper fraction for the conversion to pints:
1 3/4 = 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4
Now multiply 12/5 by 7/4:
12(7) = 84
5(4) = 20
84/20 pints or
4 1/5 pints

you're supposed to ask for help, not for answers!
and go in early and ask the teacher to explain if you have a test coming up!

You can't use yahoo answers in an exam, so what are you going to do then?
