Question

choosing a path to the solution
how many cups are in 1 liter?
(some table and multiple - choice options about unit conversion are shown, but due to image clarity issues, the exact table content and all option details cant be fully recognized. however, the main context is about unit conversion between liters and cups with a table and multiple - choice questions.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert liters to gallons

We know 1 gallon = 3.79 liters, so 1 liter = $\frac{1}{3.79}$ gallons

Step2: Convert gallons to quarts

1 gallon = 4 quarts, so $\frac{1}{3.79}$ gallons = $\frac{4}{3.79}$ quarts

Step3: Convert quarts to cups

1 quart = 4 cups, so total cups = $\frac{4}{3.79} \times 4 = \frac{16}{3.79} \approx 4.22$

Step4: Identify valid conversion paths

• Path 1: Liters → gallons → quarts → cups (uses given conversion factors: liters ↔ gallons, quarts ↔ cups, gallons ↔ quarts)
• Path 2: Liters → quarts → cups (uses given conversion factors: liters ↔ quarts, quarts ↔ cups)

Answer:

Conversion Paths:

• $\boldsymbol{\circ}$ Liters → quarts → cups
• $\boldsymbol{\circ}$ Liters → gallons → quarts → cups

Number of cups in 1 liter:

Approximately $\boldsymbol{4.22}$ cups (or exactly $\boldsymbol{\frac{16}{3.79}}$ cups)
