Arithmetic Grade Three

Lesson One hundred sixty-five: Volume

Volume

The volume or capacity of a container can be measured in cups, pints, quarts, gallons (or a few other units that we won't deal with in this lesson). Remember the following information:

	
	2 cups = 1 pint

	4 cups = 1 quart

	2 pints = 1 quart

	4 quarts = 1 gallon

It would be a real good idea to take a look at actual measuring cups and containers to get a clear idea of what cups, pints, quarts, and gallons look like. You might want to go to the kitchen and experiment with filling cups and containers with water to get a really good feel for the sizes of these units.
