You need to put oil into the gearbox of a rebuilt machine tool. The gearbox holds 16.3 liters of oil but the only oil you have is in 1-quart containers. How many of the one quart containers of oil will you need to fill the gearbox with 16.3 liters of oil

Respuesta :

Answer: You will need 18 containers of 1-quart to fill the gearbox with 16.3 liters of oil.

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that you have 1-quart containers, you need to make the conversion from quarts to liters. This is:

[tex]1\ quart=0.946\ liters[/tex]

Now, since the gearbox holds 16.3 liters of oil, you can divide the volume of oil the gearbox holds by the volume of a container  (which is 0.946 liters or 1-quart) to calculate how many containers of 1-quart you will need to fill the gearbox with 16.3 liters of oil.

 [tex]number\ of\ containers=\frac{16.3\ liters}{0.946\ liters}=17.2[/tex]

Based on the result, you will need 18 containers of 1-quart to fill the gearbox with 16.3 liters of oil.
