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.

Additional comment

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 always have equal quantities 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.

A thermometer is taken from a room where the temperature is 25oc25oc to the outdoors, where the temperature is 0oc0oc. after one

The thermometer will not directly indicate 0 °C because the thermometer need time to response. Especially alcohol in glass thermometers, the response time is slower than mercury in glass thermometers

Hi, having trouble understanding this question.. as well as solving it.

kramer

-- You have two angles.

-- They're complementary . . . they add up to 90 degrees.

-- One is 4 times as big as the other one.
___________________________________________

-- The smaller angle has 1 share of the 90 degrees.

-- The bigger angle has 4 shares of the 90 degrees.

-- (The smaller one is 1/4 the size of the bigger one.
   The bigger one is 4 times the size of the smaller one.)

-- When you add them together, you get 5 shares, totaling 90 degrees.

-- What's the size of each share ? It's 90/5 = 18 degrees.

-- The smaller angle gets one share . . . 18 degrees.

-- The bigger angle gets 4 shares.   (4 x 18) = 72 degrees.
____________________________________

Check:

-- Is the small one 1/4 the size of the big one ? 18/72 = 1/4 Yes.

-- Are they complementary ? Do they add up to 90 degrees ?

   18 + 72 = 90 Yes.

   yay !

Most decks of playing cards contain 4 suits - hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades. If you choose one card from the deck at rando

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

there are only four suits and an equal number of cards from each suit, which makes 13 hearts, clubs, spades, and diamonds, so the chance for one of them to be chosen is 13/52, which is reduced to 1/4, or 25 percent.

have a good day friend :)
