Question

use a proportion to convert the measurement.
7 quarts ≈ \boxed{} liters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that 1 quart is approximately equal to 0.9464 liters. So we set up a proportion: $\frac{1\ \text{quart}}{0.9464\ \text{liters}}=\frac{7\ \text{quarts}}{x\ \text{liters}}$, where $x$ is the number of liters we want to find.

Step2: Solve the proportion

Cross - multiply the proportion: $1\times x = 7\times0.9464$. Then calculate $7\times0.9464 = 6.6248$. So $x = 6.6248$.

Answer:

6.6248 (or approximately 6.62 depending on the required level of precision)
