How it works
A smaller unit means a bigger number. A bigger unit means a smaller number.
Going to a smaller unit: multiply. Going to a bigger unit: divide.
Know the fact: 1 quart = 2 pints, 1 gallon = 4 quarts, 1 hour = 60 minutes.
Worked examples
Quarts to pints
- 6 qt = ? pt
- 1 quart is 2 pints.
- 6 × 2 = 12.
- So the answer is 12.
Minutes to hours
- 720 min = ? hr
- 1 hour is 60 minutes, so divide.
- 720 ÷ 60 = 12.
- So the answer is 12.
Gallons to quarts
- 9 gal = ? qt
- 1 gallon is 4 quarts.
- 9 × 4 = 36.
- So the answer is 36.
