Capacity Worksheets (Gallons, Quarts, Pints, and Cups) - Free Printable

Let’s go through the worksheet step by step.

First, look at the conversion chart in the box:

- 1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups
- 1 quart = 2 pints = 4 cups
- 1 pint = 2 cups

This is our key to solving all the problems.

Part 1: Fill in the correct number for each statement.

a. 1 gallon = ___ pints
From the chart: 1 gallon = 8 pints → Answer: 8

b. 1 gallon = ___ quarts
From the chart: 1 gallon = 4 quarts → Answer: 4

c. 1 quart = ___ pints
From the chart: 1 quart = 2 pints → Answer: 2

d. 1 quart = ___ cups
From the chart: 1 quart = 4 cups → Answer: 4

e. 1 pint = ___ cups
From the chart: 1 pint = 2 cups → Answer: 2

f. 1 gallon = ___ cups
From the chart: 1 gallon = 16 cups → Answer: 16

Part 2: Circle the greater amount for each pair.

g. 4 gallons or 1 gallon
Clearly, 4 gallons is more → Circle: 4 gallons

h. 5 quarts or 1 gallon
We know 1 gallon = 4 quarts → so 5 quarts > 4 quarts → Circle: 5 quarts

i. 4 cups or 1 pint
1 pint = 2 cups → 4 cups > 2 cups → Circle: 4 cups

j. 2 cups or 1 quart
1 quart = 4 cups → 4 cups > 2 cups → Circle: 1 quart

k. 4 pints or 1 quart
1 quart = 2 pints → 4 pints > 2 pints → Circle: 4 pints

l. 2 pints or 2 quarts
1 quart = 2 pints → so 2 quarts = 4 pints → 4 pints > 2 pints → Circle: 2 quarts

Part 3: Circle the best answer for each question.

m. Sara-Beth puts milk on her cereal. How much milk does she probably use?
Options: 1 gallon (too much), 1 quart (still too much for one bowl), 1 pint (reasonable — about 2 cups) → Circle: 1 pint

n. Tom wants to paint his bedroom walls a different color. How much paint is he most likely to buy?
Options: 2 gallons (reasonable for a room), 1 quart (way too little), 3 cups (even less!) → Circle: 2 gallons

o. Each day, Isaac feeds his puppy one cup of dog food in the morning and one cup in the evening. How much food does Isaac feed his puppy during a weekend?
Weekend = Saturday + Sunday = 2 days
Each day: 1 cup AM + 1 cup PM = 2 cups per day
Over 2 days: 2 cups/day × 2 days = 4 cups total
Now convert 4 cups to other units:
→ 4 cups = 2 pints (since 1 pint = 2 cups)
→ 4 cups = 1 quart (since 1 quart = 4 cups)
→ 4 cups ≠ 1 gallon (that’s 16 cups)
So options: 1 gallon (no), 1 quart (yes!), 1 pint (only 2 cups — not enough) → Circle: 1 quart
