To convert the flow rate from quarts per year to pints per day, we can follow a step-by-step conversion process using the provided conversion factors.
1. **Identify the initial flow rate**:
\[
\text{Flow rate} = 2 \text{ quarts/year}
\]
2. **Convert quarts to pints**:
Since 1 quart = 2 pints, we can convert quarts to pints:
\[
\text{Flow rate in pints} = 2 \text{ quarts/year} \times 2 \frac{\text{pints}}{\text{quart}} = 4 \text{ pints/year}
\]
3. **Convert years to days**:
Since 1 year = 365 days, we can convert from pints per year to pints per day:
\[
\text{Flow rate in pints/day} = \frac{4 \text{ pints/year}}{365 \text{ days/year}} \approx 0.0109589 \text{ pints/day}
\]
4. **Round to the nearest hundredth**:
Rounding \(0.0109589\) to the nearest hundredth gives us:
\[
\text{Flow rate} \approx 0.01 \text{ pints/day}
\]
Thus, the flow rate is approximately **0.01 pints per day**.
