Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Liquid Measurement Conversion worksheet
Let's solve this step by step. The worksheet is about liquid measurements in the U.S. customary system, using the following conversion facts:

- 2 cups = 1 pint (pt)
- 2 pints = 1 quart (qt)
- 4 quarts = 1 gallon (gal)

This means:
- 1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups

---

Part 1: Complete the table



We are given a grid with some values and need to fill in the blanks.

The columns represent different amounts of liquid in various units. Let's go row by row.

#### Row 1:
Given:
- $ \frac{1}{8} $ gal
- $ \frac{1}{4} $ gal
- $ \frac{1}{2} $ gal

We'll convert each to pints, quarts, cups, etc.

##### Convert $ \frac{1}{8} $ gal:
- $ \frac{1}{8} $ gal = $ \frac{1}{8} \times 4 $ qt = $ \frac{4}{8} $ = $ \frac{1}{2} $ qt
- $ \frac{1}{2} $ qt = $ \frac{1}{2} \times 2 $ pt = 1 pt
- 1 pt = 2 cups

So:
- $ \frac{1}{8} $ gal = 1/2 qt, 1 pt, 2 cups

##### Convert $ \frac{1}{4} $ gal:
- $ \frac{1}{4} $ gal = $ \frac{1}{4} \times 4 $ qt = 1 qt
- 1 qt = 2 pt
- 2 pt = 4 cups

So:
- $ \frac{1}{4} $ gal = 1 qt, 2 pt, 4 cups

##### Convert $ \frac{1}{2} $ gal:
- $ \frac{1}{2} $ gal = $ \frac{1}{2} \times 4 $ qt = 2 qt
- 2 qt = 4 pt
- 4 pt = 8 cups

So:
- $ \frac{1}{2} $ gal = 2 qt, 4 pt, 8 cups

Now let’s fill in the first row:

| $ \frac{1}{8} $ gal | $ \frac{1}{4} $ gal | $ \frac{1}{2} $ gal | | |
|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|---|---|
| 0.5 qt | 1 qt | 2 qt | | |
| 1 pt | 2 pt | 4 pt | | |
| 2 cups | 4 cups | 8 cups | | |

But we have more rows to complete.

---

#### Row 2: Given "2 quarts"

We need to find:
- How many gallons?
- How many pints?
- How many cups?

##### 2 quarts:
- 2 qt = $ \frac{2}{4} $ = $ \frac{1}{2} $ gal
- 2 qt = 4 pt
- 4 pt = 8 cups

So:
- 2 quarts = 1/2 gal, 4 pt, 8 cups

Wait — but $ \frac{1}{2} $ gal already exists in the third column. So this row must be filled in the third column.

So in the third column, we already have:
- $ \frac{1}{2} $ gal → 2 quarts → 4 pints → 8 cups

So row 2 is just filling that in.

But now we have fourth column: “8 pints”

#### Row 3: Given “1 pint”

Convert 1 pint:
- 1 pt = $ \frac{1}{2} $ qt
- $ \frac{1}{2} $ qt = $ \frac{1}{2} \div 4 $ = $ \frac{1}{8} $ gal
- 1 pt = 2 cups

So:
- 1 pint = 1/8 gal, 1/2 qt, 2 cups

So this goes into the first column.

Wait — but we already have $ \frac{1}{8} $ gal in the first column. So this row should go under it.

So row 3 is:
- 1 pint → corresponds to $ \frac{1}{8} $ gal, $ \frac{1}{2} $ qt, 2 cups

So far we have:

| $ \frac{1}{8} $ gal | $ \frac{1}{4} $ gal | $ \frac{1}{2} $ gal | ? | ? |
|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|---|---|
| 0.5 qt | 1 qt | 2 qt | | |
| 1 pt | 2 pt | 4 pt | | |
| 2 cups | 4 cups | 8 cups | | |

Now look at row 3: “1 pint” — already filled above.

Now row 4: “4 cups”

4 cups = 2 pints = 1 quart = $ \frac{1}{4} $ gal

So 4 cups → 2 pt → 1 qt → $ \frac{1}{4} $ gal

So this fits in the second column.

Similarly, row 5: “16 cups”

16 cups = 8 pints = 4 quarts = 1 gallon

So 16 cups → 8 pt → 4 qt → 1 gal

And last: “32 cups”

32 cups = 16 pints = 8 quarts = 2 gallons

So 32 cups → 16 pt → 8 qt → 2 gal

Now we can build the full table.

Let’s label the columns:

Let’s assume the columns are:
- Column 1: $ \frac{1}{8} $ gal
- Column 2: $ \frac{1}{4} $ gal
- Column 3: $ \frac{1}{2} $ gal
- Column 4: ?
- Column 5: ?

From earlier:
- 8 pints = 4 quarts = 1 gallon → so 8 pints = 1 gal
- 16 cups = 8 pints = 4 quarts = 1 gallon → same
- 32 cups = 2 gallons

So:
- 8 pints = 1 gal → so column 4 is 1 gal
- 32 cups = 2 gal → so column 5 is 2 gal

Now let’s fill the whole table.

Final Table:



| $ \frac{1}{8} $ gal | $ \frac{1}{4} $ gal | $ \frac{1}{2} $ gal | 1 gal | 2 gal |
|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|-------|-------|
| $ \frac{1}{2} $ qt | 1 qt | 2 qt | 4 qt | 8 qt |
| 1 pt | 2 pt | 4 pt | 8 pt | 16 pt |
| 2 cups | 4 cups | 8 cups | 16 cups | 32 cups |

Let’s verify:
- $ \frac{1}{8} $ gal = 0.5 qt = 1 pt = 2 cups
- $ \frac{1}{4} $ gal = 1 qt = 2 pt = 4 cups
- $ \frac{1}{2} $ gal = 2 qt = 4 pt = 8 cups
- 1 gal = 4 qt = 8 pt = 16 cups
- 2 gal = 8 qt = 16 pt = 32 cups

Perfect.

Part 2: Convert the following



We’ll use:
- 1 pt = 2 cups
- 1 qt = 2 pt = 4 cups
- 1 gal = 4 qt = 8 pt = 16 cups

---

1. 30 pints = ___ cups
→ 30 × 2 = 60 cups

2. 30 pints = ___ cups
→ Same as #1 → 60 cups

3. 3 gal = ___ quarts
→ 3 × 4 = 12 quarts

4. 16 quarts = ___ pints
→ 16 × 2 = 32 pints

5. 26 pints = ___ quarts
→ 26 ÷ 2 = 13 quarts

6. 21 quarts = ___ cups
→ 21 × 4 = 84 cups

7. 102 cups = ___ pints
→ 102 ÷ 2 = 51 pints

8. 32 quarts = ___ gallons
→ 32 ÷ 4 = 8 gallons

9. 56 pints = ___ gallons
→ First convert to quarts: 56 ÷ 2 = 28 quarts
→ Then to gallons: 28 ÷ 4 = 7 gallons

10. 68 cups = ___ quarts
→ 68 ÷ 4 = 17 quarts

11. 72 quarts = ___ gallons
→ 72 ÷ 4 = 18 gallons

12. 3 gal = ___ gallons
→ Already in gallons → 3 gallons

13. 32 pints = ___ gallons
→ 32 ÷ 8 = 4 gallons
(since 1 gal = 8 pints)

14. 6 quarts = ___ cups
→ 6 × 4 = 24 cups

15. 12 quarts = ___ gallons
→ 12 ÷ 4 = 3 gallons

16. 26 pints = ___ gallons
→ 26 ÷ 8 = 3.25 gallons
→ Or as fraction: $ \frac{26}{8} = \frac{13}{4} = 3\frac{1}{4} $ gallons
3.25 gallons or $ 3\frac{1}{4} $ gallons

17. 24 cups = ___ gallons
→ 24 ÷ 16 = 1.5 gallons or $ \frac{3}{2} $ gallons

18. 20 pints = ___ gallons
→ 20 ÷ 8 = 2.5 gallons or $ 2\frac{1}{2} $ gallons
