Question

a container holds 0.340 qt of liquid. how many milliliters of lemonade will it hold? express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. part b

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion factor

We know that 1 quart (qt) is approximately equal to 946.353 milliliters (mL). So the conversion factor is $1\ \text{qt} = 946.353\ \text{mL}$.

Step2: Set up the conversion

To find the volume in milliliters, we multiply the volume in quarts by the conversion factor. So we have $0.340\ \text{qt} \times \frac{946.353\ \text{mL}}{1\ \text{qt}}$.

Step3: Perform the calculation

$0.340\times946.353 = 321.76002\ \text{mL}$.

Step4: Round to three significant figures

The number 321.76002 rounded to three significant figures is 322 (since the fourth digit is 7, which is greater than 5, we round up the third digit).

Answer:

Value: 322, Units: milliliters (or mL)
