Question

Maria works in a local pharmacy and must prepare a stock of a drug solution for a local veterinarian. The pharmacy has in stock 3 Liters of drug solution and the veterinarian is needing 2 quarts.How many quarts would be remaining of 3 Liters after Maria makes the solution?Describe the process you have used to arrive at your answer.

Answer 1

We know that

• He has 3 liters of drug solution in stock.

,

• He has to prepare 2 quarts.

We know that 1 liter equivalent to 1.1 quarts, so 3 liters would be 3.3 quarts because we multiply by 3.

Given that he just needs to prepare 2 quarts, there would be 1.3 quarts remaining.

The process that helped me to get the answer is that I used the ratio between liters and quarts, and from that ratio, I was able to express 3 liters into quarts.
