Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert liters to gallons?

To convert liters to US gallons, multiply the liter value by 0.264172. For example, 10 liters × 0.264172 = 2.64172 US gallons. For Imperial gallons (used in the UK), multiply by 0.219969 instead. Our calculator performs these conversions automatically.

What is the difference between a US gallon and an Imperial gallon?

A US gallon is equal to 3.78541 liters, while an Imperial gallon (used in the UK and some Commonwealth countries) is equal to 4.54609 liters. This means an Imperial gallon is about 20% larger than a US gallon. This difference can be significant when following recipes or measuring fuel economy.

How do I convert between cooking measurements like cups and milliliters?

One US cup equals approximately 237 milliliters (mL). To convert cups to milliliters, multiply the cups value by 237. To convert milliliters to cups, divide the milliliter value by 237. Note that metric recipes might use a 250 mL cup, while the US customary cup is 237 mL.

Are milliliters (mL) and cubic centimeters (cc or cm³) the same?

Yes, 1 milliliter (mL) is exactly equal to 1 cubic centimeter (cm³ or cc). They are simply different names for the same volume. Milliliters are typically used for liquid volumes, while cubic centimeters are often used in scientific or engineering contexts.

How many tablespoons are in a fluid ounce?

There are 2 tablespoons in 1 US fluid ounce. This means that 1 tablespoon equals 0.5 fluid ounces or approximately 14.79 milliliters. Similarly, there are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon, so 1 fluid ounce contains 6 teaspoons.

How do I convert cubic feet to gallons?

To convert cubic feet to US gallons, multiply the cubic feet value by 7.48052. For example, 2 cubic feet × 7.48052 = 14.96104 US gallons. This conversion is useful for tank capacity calculations or when measuring water usage.

Why do recipes from different countries use different volume measurements?

Different countries have historically developed their own measurement systems. The US uses customary units (cups, fluid ounces), while most other countries use the metric system (milliliters, liters). Even between countries, measurements can vary - for example, an Australian tablespoon is 20 mL, while a US tablespoon is about 14.79 mL. Our converter helps bridge these differences.
