Question

check your understanding
1 fluid ounce (fl oz) = 0.030 liters (l)
1 liter (l) = 1.057 quarts (qt)
1 fluid ounce (fl oz) = 28.413 milliliters (ml)
using the unit conversions above, how many fluid ounces is 6 quarts of water? round your answer to the nearest tenth.
fl oz.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert quarts to liters

We know that \(1\,\text{L} = 1.057\,\text{qt}\), so to convert 6 quarts to liters, we use the formula \(\text{Liters} = \frac{\text{Quarts}}{1.057}\). Substituting 6 for quarts, we get \(\text{Liters} = \frac{6}{1.057}\approx 5.676\,\text{L}\).

Step2: Convert liters to fluid ounces

We know that \(1\,\text{fl oz} = 0.030\,\text{L}\), so to convert liters to fluid ounces, we use the formula \(\text{Fluid Ounces} = \frac{\text{Liters}}{0.030}\). Substituting 5.676 for liters, we get \(\text{Fluid Ounces} = \frac{5.676}{0.030} = 189.2\) (rounded to the nearest tenth).

Answer:

\(189.2\)
