These are listed largest to smallest, so that
you can see how all volume measures are based on
the liter.
- Liter (l): A liter is only slightly
larger than a quart--about a quart plus a 1/4
cup (two ounces).
A liter is equal to 2.1 pints.

A liter is equal to 1.06 quarts.
Estimate: equal amounts.
A liter is equal to 0.26 gallons.
Estimate: four liters to a gallon.
- Milliliter (mL): A milliliter is equal to 0.03 fluid
ounces, while 1 ounce is 29.6 mL. Estimate: Multiply milliliters
by 0.03 to get ounces.
A milliliter equals 0.67 tablespoons,
while a tablespoon equals 14.78 mL.

Fifteen for dinner? Don't run out of
tablespoons!
