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.

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.
Answer:
30% is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of boys = 2
Total number of girls = 3
Total number of students = 5
To find:
Probability that the pianist will be a boy and the alternate will be a girl?
Solution:
Here we have to make 2 choices.
1st choice has to be boy (pianist) and 2nd choice has to be girl (alternate).

Formula for probability of an event E is given as:

For
, number of favorable cases are 2 (total number of boys).
Total number of cases = Total number of students i.e. 5
So,
is:

For
, number of favorable cases are 3 (total number of girls).
Now, one boy is already chosen as pianist so Total number of cases = Total number of students left i.e. (5 - 1) = 4

So, the required probability is:
