US Customary units: Liquid Volume

When we want to measure water, juice, milk, soda, and other liquid we can use units such as: gallons, quarts, pints and cups.
Today in the classroom, Grade 6 made Mr and Mrs Gallon to illustrate the relationship among these units. Here are the results:




So we learned that:

1 pint (pt) = 2 cups (c)

1 quart (qt) = 2 pints (pt)

1 gallon (gal) = 4 quarts (qt) = 8 pints (pt) = 16 cups (c)



Homework


Use the GallonBot illustration to help you answer the questions.

a. Which is greater: a quart or a pint? ________________
b. Which is less: a cup or a pint? ____________________
c. How many pints are in 2 quarts? __________________
d. How many cups are in 3 pints? ___________________
