how many pints are in 10 cups

A pint is 2 cups, so there are 10/2 = 5 pints in 10 cups. Have a blessed, wonderful day!

how much cups are in a gallon

first break gallons into quarts = 4 quarts 1 quart = 2 pints so that = 8 pints 2 cups go into a pint so we get 16 cups go into a gallon

How many ounces are in a Ton

If each pound equals 16 ounces, and there are 2000 pounds in a ton, how do you get the answer? 16 ounces x 2000 = 32,000 ounces

7fl oz = how many millimeters

you cant convert fl oz. to millimeters, like you cant convert volume to length. fl oz. is a way of measuring volume, and millimeters is a way of measuring length. now you could say " how many millimeters is in a centimeter" (10) and people could answer that or " how many milliliters is in a liter" (1000) but you cant say " how many millimeters are in a fl oz. " it is like comparing apples and oranges. but if you had just misspelled milliliters the answer is 207.0147

how do these unit apply to our daily life

If you live in the US, or have a job where you need to convert units, this is very helpful. Many jobs are easier if you know basic conversions within systems, such as the Metric or Customary systems.

Review the size of cups, pints, quarts, and gallons and how to convert between them. Then, try some practice problems.

Summary of customary units of volume

Cups	Pints	Quarts	Gallons
$16$ ‍	$8$ ‍	$4$ ‍	$1$ ‍
$4$ ‍	$2$ ‍	$1$ ‍	$\frac{1}{4}$ ‍
$2$ ‍	$1$ ‍	$\frac{1}{2}$ ‍	$\frac{1}{8}$ ‍
$1$ ‍	$\frac{1}{2}$ ‍	$\frac{1}{4}$ ‍	$\frac{1}{16}$ ‍

What is volume?

Volume measures capacity. For example, the volume of a bowl is the amount of space inside the bowl or how much water, for example it would take to fill the bowl.

In the US customary system of measurement, the most common units of volume are cups, pints, quarts and gallons.

How big are customary units of volume?

A juice box contains about

1

cup of liquid.

A pint is equal to

2

cups. A water bottle contains about

1

pint of liquid.

A quart is equal to

2

pints. A large shampoo bottle contains about

1

quart of liquid.

A gallon is equal to

4

quarts. A milk jug contains about

1

gallon of liquid.

Converting larger units to smaller units

1 pint = 2 cups

1 quart = 4 cups

1 quart = 2 pints

1 gallon = 4 quarts

To convert larger units to smaller units we multiply the number of larger units by the green conversion factor for the appropriate smaller units.

Example: Converting gallons to quarts

1 gallon = 4 quarts

2 gallons = 2 \times 4 = 8 quarts

Example: Converting pints to cups

1 pint = 2 cups

8 pints = 8 \times 2 = 16 cups

Converting smaller units to larger units

1 cup = \frac{1}{2} pint

1 pint = \frac{1}{2} quart

1 quart = \frac{1}{4} gallon

To convert smaller units to larger units we divide the number of smaller units by the purple conversion factor for the appropriate larger units.

Example: Converting pints to quarts

1 pint = \frac{1}{2} quart

12 pints = \frac{12}{2} = 12 \div 2 = 6 quarts

  We multiply when we are converting to bigger units and we divide when we are converting to smaller units. It makes more sense when you are converting in the metric system.
