Answer 1

Given :

Fran drank 19/20 liter of juice.

1 L = 1.06 qt.

To Find :

How many quarts of juice did she drink.

Solution :

It is given that :

$1 \ L=1.06\ qt\\\\1=\dfrac{1.06\ qt}{L}$

Now, amount of water he drink :

$\dfrac{19}{20}\times 1 \ L\\\\\dfrac{19}{20}\times 1.06\ \dfrac{qt}{L}\times L\\\\\dfrac{19}{20}\times 1.6 \ qt\\\\1.52\ qt$

Hence, this is the required solution.
