What are liters and quarts?
Liters and quarts are both ways to measure liquid volumes. A liter is a metric unit, and it is commonly used in places that use the metric system, like many countries around the world. A quart, on the other hand, is used mostly in the United States.
How do we convert liters to quarts?
To convert liters to quarts, we can use a simple equation. There are about 1.056688 quarts in one liter. So, if we want to find out how many quarts are in 0.85 liters, we can use the following math:
$$
\text{Quarts} = \text{Liters} \times 1.056688
$$
Now, let’s do the math:
$$
\text{Quarts} = 0.85 \times 1.056688 \approx 0.899
$$
So, 0.85 liters is approximately 0.899 quarts.
