Compare exact US customary values with milliliters and liters, then round only as much as your task permits.
US customary units do not map to tidy powers of ten. The metric values below retain the verified conversion constants; classroom estimates may use fewer decimal places.
| US customary amount | Milliliters | Liters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 US teaspoon | 4.92892159375 mL | 0.004928921594 L |
| 1 US tablespoon | 14.7867647813 mL | 0.014786764781 L |
| 1 US fluid ounce | 29.5735295625 mL | 0.029573529563 L |
| 1 US customary cup | 236.5882365 mL | 0.2365882365 L |
| 1 US liquid pint | 473.176473 mL | 0.473176473 L |
| 1 US liquid quart | 946.352946 mL | 0.946352946 L |
| 1 US gallon | 3,785.411784 mL | 3.785411784 L |
Remember: A US quart is close to—but not equal to—one liter. It is 0.946352946 L.
Values derive from GallonMan’s canonical dataset, verified 2026-09-01. US liquid, Imperial, and metric labels are intentionally explicit.
The definitions are exact, but a screen or worksheet cannot show every repeating quotient. Keep the source factor during calculation. Round the final result based on the measuring tool: a marked kitchen jug rarely justifies six decimal places.
Multiply 3 × 236.5882365 to get 709.7647095 mL. A recipe may reasonably round that to 710 mL.
Try a custom amount: use the liquid volume converter when your value is not in the table.
