Common mistakes
- Multiplying instead of dividing. A quart is larger than a pint, so the number of quarts must come out smaller: 3 pints = 1.5 qt.
- Using the imperial (UK) unit. This page uses US measures. An imperial gallon is 4.546 L (20% more than a US gallon), an imperial pint 568 ml and an imperial fluid ounce 28.41 ml.
