Answer:
b. 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that 1 L is approximately equal to 2.11 pt, we need to find how many L are approximately equal to 212 pt.
First we state the variables that we already know plus our unknown variable (L when pt is 212).
1L → 2.11pt
xL → 212pt
Which we can express as (given that we're talking about proportions):
[tex]\frac{1}{x} =\frac{2.11}{212}[/tex]
We solve for x:
[tex]212*1=2.11*x[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{212}{2.11}[/tex]
[tex]x=100.5[/tex]
Which, rounded to the nearest tenth, is approximately equal to 100.
