Okay, so first let's look at the conversion factors of these units: 1 quart=2 pints & 1 quart = 4 cups. Alright well, we already have 1.75 out of 3 quarts of the strawberry puree so all we need left is 1.25 quarts left. So since 1 pint =.5 quarts and 1 cup=.25 quarts we need to buy 2 pints and 1 cup to give us our three quarts.
