Interpretation: The closest value to the 2 L of the volume needs to be determined.
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 16A
The 2-L volume is closest to
Explanation of Solution
Convert
The conversion factor used to convert qt into L is as follows:
Thus,
Therefore, volume of 2-L is closest to
In option a, convert gal into L as follows:
The conversion factor is
Therefore, 5 gal can be converted to L as follows:
This value is greater than 2-L. Hence, this option is incorrect.
In option b, convert 1 qt into L as follows:
The conversion factor is
Hence, this value is not closer to 2-L. Hence, option b is not correct.
In option c, convert 2 pt into L as follows:
The conversion factor to convert 1pint (pt) into L is
Hence,
Therefore, this value is not closest to 2 L. Hence, option c is not correct.
