Converting Units of Capacity for 4th Grade
To convert units of capacity, multiply toward smaller units and divide toward larger ones. Customary capacity uses cups, pints, quarts, and gallons, each doubling or quadrupling; metric capacity scales by ten. The examples below cover both, with practice.
DETAILED EXPLANATION
Capacity: cups (c), pints (pt), quarts (qt), gallons (gal). 2 c = 1 pt; 2 pt = 1 qt; 4 qt = 1 gal. Metric: milliliters (mL), liters (L). 1,000 mL = 1 L.
