The Breakdown

• There are 32 ounces in one quart using the Imperial System of measurement. In the U.S., the imperial system is currently used for measurements. It was originally called the “British Imperial System,” but when the U.S. was established, we continued using the Imperial System whereas many other countries around the world moved along to the Metric System.
• Fluid ounces (for liquids) are not the same as weight by the ounce. An ounce (or a fluid ounce) is the amount of water weighing one ounce. You may notice that many recipes call for cups. There are 4 cups in one quart, 8 oz per cup. There are 4 quarts in one gallon (literally a 'quarter' of a gallon apiece, which is where the name comes from). And there are 2 pints in one quart, 16 fluid ounces in one pint.

Remember to use measuring gadgets designed for liquids, not for dry ingredients.

• 1 Gallon = 4 Quarts = 8 Pints = 16 cups = 128 fl oz
• 1 Quart = 2 Pints = 4 Cups = 32 fl oz
• 1 Pint = 2 Cups = 16 fl oz
• 1 Cup = 8 fl oz
