How many cups are there in 0.5 pints?

The imperial system and metric system are different systems for measuring quantity, so you can't directly compare them. However, by using conversion rates, you can determine the equivalent measurement.

1 pint is equal to 16 fluid ounces, and 1 cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces. So the equation is:

```

0.5 pints x (16 fluid ounces / 1 pint) / (8 fluid ounces / 1 cup) = 1.25 cups

```

Therefore, 0.5 pints is equal to 1.25 cups.
