Metric System English System

1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL) 1 tablespoon (tbsp) = 3 teaspoon (tsp)

1 fluid ounce (fl oz) = 2 tablespoon (tbsp)

1 cup (c) = 8 fluid ounces (fl oz)

1 pint (pt) = 2 cups (c)

1 liter (L)	= 1000 milliliters (mL)	1 tablespoon (tbsp)	= 3 teaspoon (tsp)
		1 fluid ounce (fl oz)	= 2 tablespoon (tbsp)
		1 cup (c)	= 8 fluid ounces (fl oz)
		1 pint (pt)	= 2 cups (c)
		1 quart (qt)	= 2 pints (pt)

Example 1: Unit conversion (English system)

Do the following conversions. Round to nearest tenth where necessary.
48 fl oz = cup
We know that 1 cup (c) = 12 fluid ounces (fl oz) so

48 fl oz × = × = 4 cup

So, 48 fl oz = cup

Example 2: Unit conversion (metric system)

Do the following conversions. Round to nearest tenth where necessary.
7 L = mL
We know that 1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL) so

7 L × = × = 7000 mL

So, 7 L = mL
