Question

A recipe calls for 5.0 qt of milk. What is this quantity in cubic centimeters?

Answer 1

To answer this question, you need to understand how to convert unit. In this case, it will be quarts(qt) into centimeter cubic(cm3). A quart is 1/4 gallon and one gallon equal to 3 785.4 cm3. Then the calculation would be: 

5qt of milk * 0.25 gallon/qt * 3 785.4 cm3/gallon= 4731.75 cm3

Answer 2

Answer: The volume of milk in cubic centimeters is $4731.765cm^3$

Explanation:

Quarts and cubic centimeters are the units that are used to express volume of a substance. These units are inter changeable.

We are given:

Volume of milk required = 5.0 quarts

To convert quarts into cubic centimeters, we use the conversion factor:

$1qt=946.353cm^3$

So, $5qt=5\times 946.353=4731.765cm^3$

Hence, the volume of milk in cubic centimeters is $4731.765cm^3$
