It is commonly abbreviated as fl. oz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Cup:<\/strong> A cup is a unit of volume measurement equal to 16 tablespoons. A US cup is about 237 ml. It is usually used for drinking beverages like coffee or tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Pint: <\/strong>A pint is equal to 2 cups. A US pint is about 473 ml. We express the <strong>capacity<\/strong> of juice jars in pints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Quart: <\/strong>A quart (qt) is the same as 2 pints. The <strong>capacity <\/strong>of milk cartons is expressed in quarts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Gallon: <\/strong>A gallon (gal) is the largest liquid measurement. It is the same as 4 quarts. The <strong>capacity<\/strong> of fuel tanks is expressed in gallons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"328\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/conversion-chart-for-customary-units-of-capacity.png\" alt=\"Conversion chart for customary units of capacity\" class=\"wp-image-40171\" title=\"Customary units of capacity\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/conversion-chart-for-customary-units-of-capacity.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/conversion-chart-for-customary-units-of-capacity-300x159.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 1. Susie bought 4 liters of orange juice. She wants to convert this quantity into milliliters. Can you help her?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We know that 1l = 1000 ml<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, 4l = 4 \u2715 1000 ml = 4000 ml<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Therefore, the quantity of orange juice bought by Susie in milliliters is 4000 ml.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 2. Ray bought 6 gallons of paint to decorate his house. Help him convert the quantity of paint to quarts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We know that 1 gallon = 4 quarts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, 6 gallons = 6 \u2715 4 quarts = 24 quarts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Therefore, the quantity of paint bought by Ray is 24 quarts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 3. Danny drank 2 cups of an energy drink on Monday. How much quantity is that in fluid ounces?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We know that 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, 2 cups = 2 \u2715 8 fluid ounces = 16 fluid ounces<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Therefore, the quantity of energy drink Danny drank was 16 fluid ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-practice-problems\">Practice Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><div class=\"spq_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"display:none;\">Capacity in Math \u2013 Definition with Examples<\/h2><p style=\"display:none;\">Attend this Quiz & Test your knowledge.<\/p><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"3\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">1<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">Jack made 4 pints of lemonade.
