Final answer:

None of the options A) 3.6, B) 0.306, C) 30.6, or D) 0.036 is equivalent to 3.06 liters; each represents a different quantity.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which decimal is equivalent to 3.06 liters, we need to understand the place value of the given decimal. In the decimal 3.06, the 0 is in the tenths place, and the 6 is in the hundredths place. Hence, this number is just a little more than 3 liters, but less than 3.1 liters. Comparing to the options given:

  • A) 3.6 has a digit 6 in the tenths place, making it much larger than 3.06.
  • B) 0.306 has the digit 3 in the tenths place, and overall, it's ten times smaller than 3.06.
  • C) 30.6 is substantially larger than 3.06 as it is ten times greater.
  • D) 0.036 is hundred times smaller than 3.06.

Therefore, none of the given options is equivalent to 3.06. All options represent different quantities of lemonade.
