Your Class Notes

To measure capacity you will use:

1.    cups                                                

2.    pints

3.    quarts

4.    gallons

Converting units of measure will require you to multiply or divide.

·        When converting from a larger unit of measure to a smaller unit of measure you will need to multiply.

                                                              i.      For example:

1.    Gallons – Quarts = multiplication

2.    quarts – pints = multiplication

3.    pints – cups = multiplication

·        When converting from smaller units of measure to larger units you will need to divide.

1.    cups – pints = division

2.    pints – quarts = division

3.    quarts – gallons = division

Remember capacity is the amount a container can hold when filled (e.g. water bottle, milk gallon, shampoo, juice, soda etc.)

Customary Units for Measuring Liquids 1 pint (pt) = 2 cups (c) 1 quart (qt) = 2 pints 1 gallon = 4 quarts

63 qt =     g                                       5 qt=       pt

16 qt =     g                                   12 qt =       pt

20qt  =     g                                       6pt =       c
