The table shows conversions of common units of capacity.

To convert 3 quarts to centiliters, we can start by converting quarts to liters and then liters to centiliters.

Given that:

• 1 quart = 0.95 liters, we can find the volume in liters for 3 quarts: \[ 3 \text{ quarts} = 3 \times 0.95 \text{ liters} = 2.85 \text{ liters} \]

Next, convert liters to centiliters. Since 1 liter equals 100 centiliters: \[ 2.85 \text{ liters} = 2.85 \times 100 \text{ centiliters} = 285 \text{ centiliters} \]

Thus, the approximate number of centiliters in 3 quarts is 285 centiliters.

The answer is 285 centiliters.
