Find the number of liters in 6 c of soda.
Step 1: Convert the cups to quarts.
There are $\square$ cups in a quart.
\[
\begin{array}{l}
6 \mathrm{c}=6 / \square \mathrm{qt} \\
6 \mathrm{c}=\square \mathrm{qt}
\end{array}
\]
Step 2: Convert the quarts to liters.
\[
1 \mathrm{~L}=1.06 \mathrm{qt}
\]
$\square$ qt $=$ $\square$ $6 \mathrm{c}=\square \mathrm{L}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Convert cups to quarts
There are 4 cups in a quart.
\[
\begin{array}{l}
6 \mathrm{c} = 6/4 \mathrm{qt} \\
6 \mathrm{c} = 1.5 \mathrm{qt}
\end{array}
\]
Step 2: Convert quarts to liters
We are given that 1 L = 1.06 qt. We want to convert 1.5 qt to liters. We can set up a proportion:
\[
\frac{1 \text{ L}}{1.06 \text{ qt}} = \frac{x \text{ L}}{1.5 \text{ qt}}
\]
Cross-multiply:
\[
1.06x = 1.5
\]
Divide both sides by 1.06:
\[
x = \frac{1.5}{1.06} \approx 1.42
\]
So, 1.5 qt ≈ 1.42 L.
