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
---
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.
---
| $ \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.

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

(since 1 gal = 8 pints)

→ 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
