\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 946.352\) | millilitres | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 0.832 \, 674\) | imperial quart |
Gallon
The (US) gallon is a unit of volume used in the United States.
It is defined as $231$ cubic inches, which is exactly $3.78541 \, 1784$ litres.
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds 1\) | gallon (US) | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 4\) | quarts (US) | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 231\) | cubic inches | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 3.78541 \, 1784 \times 10^{-3}\) | cubic metres | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 3.78541 \, 1784\) | litres | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 3785.41178 \, 4\) | millilitres | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 0.832 \, 674\) | imperial gallon |
Hence $6$ US gallons is approximately $5$ imperial gallons.
