Answer:

  14.7 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given equivalence figures to write a proportion. Solve the proportion for the unknown value.

__

  quarts/liters = x/14 = 1/0.95 . . . . . the conversion is given as 1 qt = 0.95 L

Multiply by 14 to find x.

  x = 14(1/0.95) ≈ 14.7

There are about 14.7 quarts in 14 liters.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You are given a value in liters (14 liters) and asked for the equivalent in quarts. That means you want to change the units from liters to quarts. To do that, you can multiply the given value (14 liters) by a conversion factor that has quarts in the numerator and liters in the denominator. That is what the fraction 1/0.95 is in the above. You will note that units of liters cancel in this equation.

  (14\text{ liters})\times\dfrac{1\text{ quart}}{0.95\text{ liter}}=\dfrac{14}{0.95}\text{ quarts}\approx14.7\text{ quarts}

This rule, "use a conversion factor that divides by the units you don't want and multiplies by the units you do want" applies to any units conversion problem. The conversion factor you use should <em>always</em> have <em>equal quantities</em> in the numerator and denominator. (Here, the equal quantities are 1 quart and 0.95 liters.)

You will notice that we treat units just like any variable. They can be multiplied, divided, cancelled, raised to a power. Only terms with like units can be added or subtracted.

andrey2020 [161]

If there are 60 people waiting for a river raft ride. Each raft holds

15 people. how Silvia's work can be used to find the number

of rafts needed is: total number of people/Number of people holded by  each raft.

<h3>Number of rafts needed</h3>

Using this formula

There are 136 people waiting for a river raft ride each raft holds 8 people.

Number of rafts needed=Number of people/Capacity of raft

Where:

Number of people = 60

Capacity of raft = 15 people

Let plug in the formula

Number of rafts needed=60/15

Number of rafts needed=4 rafts needed

Therefore if  raft holds 15 people. how Silvia's work can be used to find the number of rafts needed is: total number of people/<em>Number </em>of people holded by  each raft.

mestny [16]

Answer:

$27.59

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply 30 dollars by 0.85 (1-0.15, with the 0.15 being for the 15 percent off). Which gets you to $25.50, and you then multiply it by 1.082 (the 1.082 being the tax, and the .082 part equating to the 8.2% tax percentage).
