Answer:

C. 7.0 Liters

Explanation:

You always start with the amount that was given to you. In this case it was 7.41 quarts. You then multiply it with the conversion factor (1 qt = 0.95L)

To convert quarts into liters, you must set up the problem so the quarts are able to cancel out, meaining one should be in the numerator and the ither should be in the denominator.

When the quarts are cancelled out, your answer will now be in liters.

Now you just multiply all the numerators and divide the denominators.

7.41 × 0.951 = 7.0395

7.0395/1 = 7.0395

Then you round the answer to 7.0
