To determine how many cans of chicken broth James will need to buy, we first need to convert the quart measurement to fluid ounces.
1 quart (qt) is equal to 32 fluid ounces (fl oz). So, you are correct that 32 fl oz is equivalent to 1 qt.
Next, we need to find out how many quarts of chicken broth James needs for his won ton soup. If James is making 1 quart of soup, he will need 32 fl oz of chicken broth. However, a can of chicken broth holds 14 fl oz.
To find out how many cans James needs, we can divide the required amount of chicken broth (32 fl oz) by the amount in each can (14 fl oz):
32 fl oz / 14 fl oz = 2.29...
Since we can't buy a fraction of a can, we round up to the next whole number. Therefore, James will need to buy 3 cans of chicken broth.
So, the correct answer is 3 cans of chicken broth.
