Exercise 15 Page 321

Use the conversion factor that 1 quart is roughly equal to 0.95 liters.

10.5 qt

Practice makes perfect
Let's start by copying the given statement. 10L≈ qt Converting between liters (L) and quarts (qt) will involve using a conversion factor. 1qt/0.95L Multiplying 10L by this conversion factor will convert it to quarts.
10L*1qt/0.95L
10L*1qt/0.95L
10L*1qt/0.95L
10*1qt/0.95
10qt/0.95
10.526315qt
10.5qt
To complete the given statement, we will substitute 10.5 into the blank space. 10L≈10.5qt

Common Conversion Factors
The following tool can be used to help you explore some of the most commonly used conversion factors. Conversions can be made both within or between the Metric System and the Imperial System — which is also known as the U.S. Customary System. Conversions can also be made for different measurement types: length, mass, temperature, time, area, or volume.
Conversion factors between different units of measurement
All across the globe, humans use conversion factors on a daily basis. Want to use a recipe that is written using milliliters? Convert it! Want to compare your height to that of an Olympic athlete? Convert it! You can read more about applications of conversion factors in our original content.
