Re: Bap 10
Beth,
From the figures below, you should be able to figure just about any
conversion you might need.
1 liter = 0.264 gal (3.785 liter = 1 gal), gal is 4 quarts,
1 liter = 1.057 qt (0.946 liter = 1 qt) each quart is 32 oz, 1 liter = 1000
ml
1 liter = 33.81 oz (0.0296 liter = 1 oz = 29.57 milliliters)
1 ml = 0.03381 oz
so 1 cup = 8 oz = 236.56 ml
so 1 pint = 16 oz = 473.12 ml
so 1 qt = 32 oz = 946.24 ml'
The one I always remember is that 1 once is about 29 milliliters.
