Final answer:

To eliminate the denominators, multiply the top numbers and divide by the bottom numbers in the fractions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the number of liters, we bring the 2.33 M over to the right into the denominator, and the number of liters over to the left in the numerator. We now have:

4. When your units cancel out correctly, you are ready to do the math. You are multiplying fractions, so you multiply the top numbers and divide by the bottom numbers in the fractions.

Note how the units of the numerator in one fraction are canceled by the units of the denumerator of the following fraction leaving only the desired units uncancelled that become the units of the answer number.

In other words, just multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together, simplifying by common factors as needed.
