Maybe you've even baked a cake all by yourself! Imagine measuring out the ingredients to make it just right.
Baking and cooking involve lots of measurement. From whipping up cookies to brewing a refreshing lemonade, measuring liquids is part of our daily lives.
Whether you're helping with dinner or creating your own science experiments, being able to measure liquids confidently is a super skill!
Dive in and become a master at measuring liquids.
The first step to becoming a measurement master is knowing what different measurements are called and what they mean.
One essential measurement is the gallon.
If you have ever seen a gallon of milk, you know what this unit of measurement looks like.
A gallon is pretty big and holds a lot of liquid.
Now, it's time to talk about something a little smaller: the quart. You might see this measurement when you buy a large bottle of water or even a quart of milk.
Look at these two units of measurement side by side.
Here’s a neat fact: 1 gallon can be divided into 4 quarts! That means 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts!
So, if you had a gallon of delicious chocolate milk, you could share it by pouring it into 4 quarts.
Yum!
8 ÷ 4 = 2!
That means 8 quarts is the same as 2 gallons.

That's right; 4!
So, you can multiply 3 gallons by 4 quarts to find out how many quarts there are.
3 x 4 = 12!
That means 3 gallons equals 12 quarts! Awesome!
Understanding these common units of measurement is super important for the things you do every day!
