Units of Capacity

1. Liter (L): The liter is the basic unit of capacity in the metric system. It is used to measure larger quantities of liquid.2. Milliliter (mL): The milliliter is a smaller unit of capacity in the metric system. There are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter.3. Gallon (gal): The gallon is a unit of capacity in the customary system of measurement used in the United States.4. Quart (qt): The quart is a common unit of capacity in the customary system.

Cup (c): The cup is a smaller unit of capacity often used for cooking and baking. There are 2 cups in 1 pint.

Converting Between Units

Converting between units of capacity involves understanding the relationships between the different units. Here are some common conversion relationships:- 1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL) - 1 gallon (gal) = 4 quarts (qt) - 1 quart (qt) = 2 pints (pt) - 1 pint (pt) = 2 cups (c)
