Explanation:

Step1: Find cups to pints conversion

From the table, $1\ \text{pt}=2\ \text{c}$, so $1\ \text{c}=\frac{1}{2}\ \text{pt}$.
Convert 12 cups to pints:
$12\ \text{c} = 12 \times \frac{1}{2}\ \text{pt} = 6\ \text{pt}$

Step2: Find pints to quarts conversion

From the table, $1\ \text{qt}=2\ \text{pt}$, so $1\ \text{pt}=\frac{1}{2}\ \text{qt}$.
Convert 6 pints to quarts:
$6\ \text{pt} = 6 \times \frac{1}{2}\ \text{qt} = 3\ \text{qt}$
