Answer:
(a) 6 pints
(b) 2.84 liters
Explanation:
a) Let x represent the number of pints
Note that 1 quart = 2 pints
We can go ahead and solve for x as shown below;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{ quart }\rightarrow\text{ 2 pints} \\ 3\text{ quarts }\rightarrow\text{ x pints} \\ x=\frac{2\times3}{1}=6\text{ pints} \end{gathered}[/tex]
b) Let y represent the number of liters
Note that 1 quart = 0.95 liter
Let's go ahead and solve for y;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{ quart }\rightarrow\text{ 0.95 liters} \\ 3\text{ quarts }\rightarrow\text{ y liters} \\ y=\frac{0.95\times3}{1} \\ y=2.84\text{ liters} \end{gathered}[/tex]
