What is the result of subtracting one quarter of 3.2 litres from two thirds of 9.6 litres?

1. 1.2 litres

2. 2.0 litres

3. 2.8 litres

4. 3.4 litres

The correct answer is: 2.8 litres

To determine the result of subtracting one quarter of 3.2 litres from two thirds of 9.6 litres, begin by calculating each of the quantities involved. First, calculate two thirds of 9.6 litres: - Two thirds (2/3) of 9.6 litres is computed as follows: \[ \frac{2}{3} \times 9.6 = 6.4 \text{ litres} \] Next, calculate one quarter of 3.2 litres: - One quarter (1/4) of 3.2 litres is computed as follows: \[ \frac{1}{4} \times 3.2 = 0.8 \text{ litres} \] Now that both quantities are known, subtract one quarter of 3.2 litres from two thirds of 9.6 litres: - The subtraction is calculated as: \[ 6.4 \text{ litres} - 0.8 \text{ litres} = 5.6 \text{ litres} \] It seems there may have been an error in interpreting the original question or calculations, as the answer provided does not align with the
