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**.
