Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given that 2.6 2.6 liters is approximately equal to 10.99 10.99 cups.
2. We need to verify this conversion using the provided conversion table.
3. We will use the conversion factor 1 cup0.24 liter 1 \text{ cup} \approx 0.24 \text{ liter} .

STEP 2

1. Identify the conversion factor.
2. Calculate the equivalent number of cups for 2.6 2.6 liters.
3. Compare the calculated value with the given value.

STEP 3

Identify the conversion factor from the table: 1 cup0.24 liter 1 \text{ cup} \approx 0.24 \text{ liter} .

STEP 4

Calculate the number of cups equivalent to 2.6 2.6 liters using the conversion factor.
Number of cups=2.6 liters0.24 liters per cup\text{Number of cups} = \frac{2.6 \text{ liters}}{0.24 \text{ liters per cup}}

STEP 5

Perform the division to find the number of cups.
Number of cups=2.60.2410.83\text{Number of cups} = \frac{2.6}{0.24} \approx 10.83

STEP 6

Compare the calculated value 10.83 10.83 cups with the given value 10.99 10.99 cups.
The calculated number of cups is approximately 10.83 10.83 , which is close to the given value of 10.99 10.99 cups. The discrepancy might be due to rounding or measurement approximations.
