Answer 1

2.25 quarts or
`2(1)/(4)` quarts.

Explanation:

A chicken soup recipe calls for 9 cups of chicken stock.

We have to calculate the quantity of 9 cups of chicken stock to quarts.

Since 1 cup = 0.25 quarts

Therefore, 9 cups = 0.25 × 9 = 2.25 quarts

To convert 9 cups in mixed form we will divide the volume value by 4.

since 1 quarts = 4 cups

Therefore, quarts in 9 cups = 9 ÷ 4

=
`2(1)/(4)` quarts

Answer would be 2.25 quarts or
`2(1)/(4)` quarts.
