Converting Between Systems (8 points)
#1 Use the conversions given, 1liters = 4.23 cups = 2.11 pints = 1.06 quarts = .26 gallons, to convert each ingredient to liters. From there you should be able to answer the question.
#2 For part B, you will select a number and then convert to pounds. For part C, go from kilograms to pounds, then pounds to ounces.
#1 To convert each ingredient to liters using the given conversions:
a) 3 cups = 0.71 liters (3 cups * 1 liter/4.23 cups)
b) 4 pints = 1.89 liters (4 pints * 1 liter/2.11 pints)
c) 2.5 quarts = 2.36 liters (2.5 quarts * 1 liter/1.06 quarts)
d) 1 gallon = 3.79 liters (1 gallon * 1 liter/0.26 gallons)
#2 For part B, let's assume we select the number 10. To convert 10 to pounds:
10 pounds = 4.54 kilograms (10 pounds * 0.4536 kg/pound)
For part C, let's assume we have 15 kilograms. To convert from kilograms to pounds, and then from pounds to ounces:
15 kilograms = 33.07 pounds (15 kilograms * 2.2046 pounds/kilogram)
33.07 pounds = 529.12 ounces (33.07 pounds * 16 ounces/pound)
