Worked Examples
Example 1: Beverage Bottle Conversion
Problem:Convert a standard 2-liter soda bottle to gallons, fluid ounces, and cups.
Solution:Gallons = 2 × 0.264172 = 0.528 gallons\nFluid ounces = 2 × 33.814 = 67.63 fl oz\nCups = 2 × 4.22675 = 8.45 cups
Result:2 L = 0.528 gal = 67.63 fl oz = 8.45 cups
Example 2: Recipe Scaling to Metric
Problem:A recipe calls for 1.5 US cups of liquid. Convert this to milliliters and liters.
Solution:1 cup = 236.588 mL\n1.5 cups = 1.5 × 236.588 = 354.88 mL\nLiters = 354.88 / 1000 = 0.355 L
Result:1.5 cups = 354.88 mL = 0.355 L
