Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about liters and quarts, two different ways to measure liquids. You might have seen these units while watering your plants or mixing fertilizer in your garden.
A liter is a metric unit often used to measure liquids, like water or juices, and it’s popular around the world. On the other hand, a quart is part of the U.S. customary system and is commonly used in the United States.
Now, to understand how to convert liters to quarts, we can use the conversion factor:
$$
1 \text{ liter} \approx 1.056688 \text{ quarts}
$$
So, if we have 3.2 liters, we can multiply this number by the conversion factor to see how many quarts it equals:
$$
3.2 \text{ liters} \times 1.056688 \text{ quarts/liter} \approx 3.384 \text{ quarts}
$$
This means that 3.2 liters is about 3.384 quarts. We can use this knowledge when keeping track of how much water we use for our plants.
Here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 3.2 liters:
