Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Measurement: Problem 35

An old English children’s rhyme states, “Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey, when along came a spider who sat down beside her. . . .” The spider sat down not because of the curds and whey but because Miss Muffet had a stash of 11 tuffets of dried flies. The volume measure of a tuffet is given by 1 tuffet = 2 pecks = 0.50 Imperial bushel, where 1 Imperial bushel = 36.3687 liters (L). What was Miss Muffet’s stash in (a) pecks, (b) Imperial bushels, and (c) liters?
