Final answer:

To convert quarts to fluid ounces, multiply the number of quarts by the conversion factor, which is 32. Each can contains 24 fluid ounces. Divide the total number of fluid ounces needed by the number of ounces in each can to find out how many cans you need to buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert quarts to fluid ounces, you need to multiply the number of quarts by the conversion factor, which is 32. Since each can contains 24 fluid ounces, you need to divide the total number of fluid ounces needed (3 quarts x 32 ounces/quart) by the number of ounces in each can (24 ounces) to find out how many cans you need to buy.

3 quarts x 32 ounces/quart = 96 fluid ounces

96 fluid ounces รท 24 ounces/can = 4 cans
