It is challenging to remember volume conversions. Given below is the cheat sheet to keep at the time of cooking or baking. Today we will discuss the difference between the metric system and the imperial system, Volume US Ounces to Cups, US Cups to Pints, How many US Cups in a Gallon? How many Cups in a Quart? How many Cups in a Pint? How many Cups in Half-Pint? Measurement conversion table in this article.
Difference between the metric system and the imperial system
In 1965, Great Britain used the British Imperial System before adopting the metric system. The USA is also dependent on this system for its weights and measures. As ounces are not the measure of weight but are the measure of volume, that’s why the unit conversion is difficult between these two.
- 20 or 16 fluid ounces = 1 pint, and it depends on where you are.
- For example, milk is denser than water that weighs around one pound per 16 fl. oz., So it is a little bit more than a pound.
- Liberia, Myanmar, along with the USA, are the ones that haven’t adopted things like imperial cups. Canadians are already on it.
It’s tricky converting pints while cooking because stores sell the new product not by volume but by weight.

| 20 Cups of coffee beans is equal to | 1 gallon of coffee |
| 8 Cups is equal to | ½ gallon of water |

How many Cups in a Quart?
In this, 4 Cups are equal to 1 Quart.
How many Cups in a Pint?
As you know, 1 Cup is equal to 8 Ounces, and 2 Cups are equals to 1 Pint, so generally, 1 pint includes 2 cups, and it depends upon the ingredients. Let’s say 2 Cups/12Ounces(dry) equals 1 Pint of Blueberries, whereas 2 Cups equals 1 Pint of ice cream or sour cream.
Another example is if a recipe requires cups of sliced strawberries, but on the other side, the seller sells the strawberries measured by weight in a plastic clamshell. Just remember 12 large strawberries, 24 medium or 36 small ones = 1 Pint = 3/4 pound = 1 1/2 to 2 cups of sliced strawberries.
And 2 3/4 cups of sliced strawberries equals 1 lb of whole strawberries.
How many Cups are there is a Half-Pint?
In this, 1 Cup equal 1/2 Pint.
