Question

Three quarts equal a) how many pints b) hiw many liters?

Answer 1

(a) 6 pints

(b) 2.84 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let x represent the number of pints

Note that 1 quart = 2 pints

We can go ahead and solve for x as shown below;

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ quart }\rightarrow\text{ 2 pints} \\ 3\text{ quarts }\rightarrow\text{ x pints} \\ x=(2*3)/(1)=6\text{ pints} \end{gathered}`

b) Let y represent the number of liters

Note that 1 quart = 0.95 liter

Let's go ahead and solve for y;

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ quart }\rightarrow\text{ 0.95 liters} \\ 3\text{ quarts }\rightarrow\text{ y liters} \\ y=(0.95*3)/(1) \\ y=2.84\text{ liters} \end{gathered}`
