Question

How do you convert $6$ quarts to fluid ounces?

Answer 1

Hint:
In this sum, the only thing the student should know about is the unit of measurement. It is important to know that quarts & fluid ounces are a unit of measurement for volume. From the question, if the student has an idea about the unit of measurement for fluid ounce, he can gauge that quart would also be a unit of measurement for volume. The first step is finding a relation between $1$ quartz and $1$ fluid ounce. And then multiplying by $6$.

Complete Step by Step Solution:
The first step is a direct application of the conversion. Though this is difficult to remember this would give an answer very quickly.
We know that $1$ quart is equivalent to $32$ ounce.
Now to find the number of ounces equivalent to $6$ quart, we multiply by $6$, in order to get the value for $6$ ounces.
$6$ quarts= $6 \times 32 = 192$ ounces.

Note:
Though this is an easy numerical, the questions asked are in terms of word problems where the student has to apply this conversion in order to calculate the volume. It may so happen that the student might have to convert quart to Litre directly. In such a case it is advised to first convert quart to a gallon and then from gallon to liter. It is always beneficial to remember the direct value for conversion.
