B) 2.86 liters
C) 2.88 liters

Answer 1

To convert 3 quarts to liters, you first need to convert it to ounces. Then, you can use the conversion factor of 1 quart to 32 ounces. Multiplying 3 quarts by 32 will give you the answer, which is 96 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that you have two different units of capacity. In order to compare these measurements, convert one of them so that both units are the same. Let's convert 3 quarts to ounces.

Now, when converting quarts to ounces you are moving from a larger unit of measure to a smaller unit of measure. This means you will need to multiply. There are 32 ounces in a quart, so your conversion factor is 32.

Next, multiply. Take the given number of quarts and multiply by 32. 3x32=96
