OUTPUT #1 **Conversion: Original Measurement Unit: Liters (L) Desired Measurement Unit: US Gallons (gal) Measurement Value: 10 L 1 liter is approximately equal to 0.264172 US gallons. Therefore, 10 liters is approximately equal to: 10 L × 0.264172 (gal/L) = 2.64172 US gallons So, 10 liters is roughly 2.64172 US gallons. **Historical Context: - **Liters: The liter was originally defined in 1795 by the French as one cubic decimeter. Over the years, its definition was refined. By 1964, a liter was redefined in terms of the cubic meter, one of the seven base SI units, as exactly 1 cubic decimeter or \(10^{-3}\) cubic meters. - **US Gallons: This unit originated in England and was used to measure wine and beer. The US gallon is based on the wine gallon used in England prior to 1826. It's worth noting that the US gallon and the British Imperial gallon are different. **Common Usage: - **Liters: Commonly used worldwide for measuring volume, especially in countries using the metric system. It's frequently used for beverages, fuel, and many other liquid products. - **US Gallons: Predominantly used in the United States. Common applications include measuring fuel efficiency as "miles per gallon," volume capacity of containers, and the sale of liquids like milk and gasoline. **Alternate Units: 1. **British Imperial Gallon: Different from the US gallon. 1 US gallon is approximately equal to 0.832674 British Imperial gallons. For the given value, 10 liters is roughly 2.19969 British Imperial gallons. 2. **Quarts (US): There are 4 quarts in a US gallon. So, 10 liters is roughly 10.5669 quarts. **Precision Details: - The conversion factor used above is an approximation. Temperature, pressure, and substance density can all influence the precise volume a given mass of a substance occupies. However, for everyday use, the approximation is generally sufficient. **Tips & Tricks: - A quick mnemonic: "A liter is a little less than a quart." While it's not exact (a quart is slightly more than a liter), it can help you remember that the two measurements are close in value. For a more precise memory aid, remember the number sequence "264" as the beginning of the conversion factor from liters to US gallons. OUTPUT #2 It seems like there's a slight mix-up in your question. I assume you meant "quarts" (a unit of volume) and not "quartz" (a mineral). To determine how many quarts are in 100 cm³ (cubic centimeters), we first need to understand the relationship between these two units: 1 quart (US) = 946.352946 cm³ Given 100 cm³, the number of quarts would be: \( \frac{100 \text{ cm³}}{946.352946 \text{ cm³/quart}} \) ≈ 0.1057 quarts (US) So, 100 cm³ is approximately 0.1057 quarts.
