Question

How many quarts are in $ 12 $ cups?

Answer 1

Hint: Quarts is expressed as the unit of liquid which is equal to the four cups in respect to the US (United states) standard. We will use $ 1 $ quart equal to $ 4 $ cups. Place the values in the given number of cups and will find the required value.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Now, as we know that $ 1 $ quarts $ = 4 $ cups
It can be re-written as –
 $ 4 $ cups $ = 1 $ quarts
Therefore $ 12 $ cups $ = $ ?
Do cross multiplication
 $ = \dfrac{{12 \times 1}}{4} $
Find the factors in the numerator of the above expression –
 $ = \dfrac{{3 \times 4}}{4} $
Common factors from the numerator and the denominator cancel each other. Therefore remove from the numerator and the denominator.
 $ = 3 $ quarts.
Therefore, the required solutions is –
 $ 12 $ cups is equal to $ 3 $ quarts.
So, the correct answer is “3 quarts”.
