Given:
A quart of liquid has a mass of 2.70 kilograms.
Determine how many quarts is 100 pounds.
Solution:
Convert first 100 pounds into kilograms, to do so we will divide 100 pounds by 2.205. Since 1 kg is equal to 2.205 lbs.
= 100 / 2.205
= 45.36 kg
Now we need to divide 45.36 kg by 2.7 in order to determine how many quarts of liquid it contains. Since 1 quart is equal to 2.7 kg.
= 45.36/2.7
=16.8 quarts
Final answer:
=16.8 quarts
