Concept explainers
Interpretation: The value of one liter of volume in the metric system is equal to what amount of English system needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: In metric system, meter, liter, and gram are used as common units of length, capacity, and weight respectively. In this system, fractions of a unit or multiples of a unit can be expressed by powers of 10.
Answer to Problem 12A
One liter of volume in metric system is equivalent to one quart in the English system.
Explanation of Solution
In metric system, liter is a measure of liquid volume. In English system, measurement of volume of the liquid is done in quart.
The relation between liter and quarts is as follows:
Therefore, one liter of volume in metric system is equivalent to one quart in the English system.
Two most widely used systems are English system which is used in the United States and the metric system which is used in the rest of the industrialized world.
