Divide liters by 3.785 to get US gallons, or divide by 4.546 to get imperial gallons. For example, 10 liters ÷ 3.785 = 2.64 US gallons. For a quick estimate, divide liters by 4 for approximate US gallons.

There are approximately 4.227 US cups in 1 liter. If you're using metric cups (250 ml), there are exactly 4 metric cups in 1 liter. For cooking, you can estimate about 4¼ US cups per liter.

US and imperial measurements differ significantly: 1 US gallon = 3.785 L vs 1 imperial gallon = 4.546 L (20% larger). US cups, pints, and quarts are also smaller than their imperial counterparts. Always verify which system a recipe uses.

There are 16 tablespoons in 1 US cup. Other relationships: 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 15 ml. Half cup = 8 tablespoons. Quarter cup = 4 tablespoons. These are standard US cooking measurements.

Divide milliliters by 29.574 to get US fluid ounces. For example, 250 ml ÷ 29.574 = 8.45 fl oz. For a quick estimate, divide ml by 30. UK fluid ounces are slightly different: divide by 28.413.

A metric cup is exactly 250 ml (used in Australia, Canada, and others). A US cup is 236.588 ml. A Japanese cup is 200 ml. A UK cup (traditional) is 284 ml. Recipes may use different standards, so always check the source.

There are 128 fluid ounces in 1 US gallon. Other conversions: 1 quart = 32 fl oz, 1 pint = 16 fl oz, 1 cup = 8 fl oz. An imperial gallon contains 160 imperial fluid ounces.

For accuracy in baking, use weight (grams) when possible. Common conversions: 1 cup flour ≈ 120-125g, 1 cup sugar ≈ 200g, 1 cup butter ≈ 227g. For liquids: 1 cup = 236 ml = 8 fl oz. Many baking recipes include both volume and weight.
