The United States fluid ounce was initially based on the wine gallon used in England prior to 1824.
The imperial gallon's definition was later changed to be equal to 4.54609 liters, making the imperial fluid ounce equal to exactly 28.4130625 mL. In 1824, the imperial gallon was defined as the volume of ten pounds of water at a temperature of 16.7☌. History/origin: The fluid ounce was originally based on the volume occupied by one ounce (weight) of a given liquid such as wine or water, thus varying based on the system being used. The imperial fluid ounce is 1/20 of an imperial pint, and 1/160 of an imperial gallon, which is equal to 28.4 mL. The US fluid ounce is 1/16 of a US fluid pint, and 1/128 of a US liquid gallon, which is equal to 29.57 mL.
Fluid ounceĭefinition: A fluid ounce (symbol: fl oz) is a unit of volume in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. The imperial gallon is used even more sparingly than the US gallon, with most countries around the world using liters when referencing fuel. Gallons are also widely used in fuel economy expression in the US, as well as some of its territories. History/origin: The term gallon most closely originates from "galon" in Old Northern French and developed as a system for measuring wine and beer in England, resulting in measures such as the wine gallon, ale gallon, and imperial gallon.Ĭurrent use: In the United States (US), gallons are often used for larger containers, such as half gallon tubs of ice cream or one-gallon cartons of milk. A US fluid ounce is therefore 1/128 of a US gallon while an imperial fluid ounce is 1/160 of an imperial gallon. Further differentiating the US and the imperial gallon, a US gill is divided into four fluid ounces, while an imperial gallon is divided into five. A cup is comprised of two gills, making one gallon equal four quarts, eight pints, sixteen cups, or thirty-two gills. Quarts are then divided into two pints and pints are divided into two cups. In both systems, the gallon is divided into four quarts. In contrast, the imperial gallon, which is used in the United Kingdom, Canada, and some Caribbean nations, is defined as 4.54609 liters. The US gallon is defined as 231 cubic inches (3.785 liters). It’s why I keep this cheat sheet on my refrigerator these days.Definition: A gallon is a unit of volume specifically regarding liquid capacity in both the US customary and imperial systems of measurement. Numbers just aren’t my thing, and this can be tough for someone who loves to cook and bake. Thank God my husband is proficient and can help our son with his third grade math. I’ll be honest, friends, I’ve never won any awards in math.

Now, after you’ve committed the measurement conversion tool to memory (it’s not that hard, it’s tarts with the gallon eating the quarts), you can test yourself using the questions below. You’re never going to have to consult Siri to find out how many cups are in a quart ever again! Here’s a shortlist of the conversions using the graphic above. You’re going to find it so useful, and soon enough, you’ll have the graphic memorized for life! You should totally print this and keep it on your refrigerator. The original graphic was pretty worn out, so I decided to make a fresh one for you to utilize. I printed a handy graphic a few years ago (pretty sure I originally printed it from this site) that I had tucked it into the back edge of a cookbook and filed it away in my kitchen, sure to be forgotten. How many cups in a pint? And how many pints in a quart? I went to Google, as I have to do every single time I need to remember measurement conversions and it occurred to me: there has to be a better way! It was a bit of an overwhelming task, but, it did allow me to brush up on my measurements a bit. I didn’t end up making the apple butter, so I can’t share the recipe. I found that I was struggling to remember some of the measurements that I had learned in school! Since I don’t necessarily want to make gargantuan portions, I knew I needed to figure out a way to half the recipe.
Y’all, the proportions for these recipes are HUGE! Have you ever looked at some of the recipes in those Amish cookbooks? Recently, I was trying to make a recipe for apple butter that I had found in an old Amish cookbook.
