Answer 1

Greetings from Brasil...

According to the annex, we note that

1 qt = 1 quart = 0.95L

To solve this problem, just apply some rules of 3.....

1st - how many qt's are in 15.5 cups

qt cup

1 ---------- 4

X ---------- 15.5

4 · X = 1 · 15.5

4X = 15.5

X = 15.5 ÷ 4

X = 3.875qt

Last rule of 3 to know how many liters there are in 3.875qt:

qt litres

1 ---------- 0.95

3.875 ---------- Y

1 · Y = 0.95 · 3.875

Y = 3.68L

In a day a young man should drink 3.68L of water
