Hey there! Today we’re going to learn about how to convert different units of liquid measurements. If you have ever watered plants in your garden or mixed up some fertilizer, you might have used bottles or containers that measure liquids.
When we look at something called liters, it’s a way to measure how much liquid we have. In gardening, we often see our watering cans measured in liters. Now, in some places, people use something called fluid ounces instead of liters. It’s just another way to measure the same thing!
Let’s figure out how many fluid ounces are in 0.9 liters. To do that, we use a conversion factor. We know that:
$$
1 \text{ liter} = 33.814 \text{ fluid ounces}
$$
To find out how many fluid ounces are in 0.9 liters, we multiply:
$$
0.9 \text{ liters} \times 33.814 \text{ fluid ounces/liter} = 30.43 \text{ fluid ounces}
$$
So, 0.9 liters is the same as 30.43 fluid ounces. This means if you have a container that holds 0.9 liters of water, it can also hold 30.43 fluid ounces of water.
Here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 0.9 liters or 30.43 fluid ounces:
- A large water bottle (some sport bottles are around this size)
- About 3.5 cups (since 1 cup is about 8 fluid ounces)
- A medium-sized plant watering can
- A tall glass with a capacity of around 30 ounces
- A standard milk carton that’s sometimes around this volume
- A soda can (which is commonly 12 fluid ounces, so a bit more than 2 and a half cans)
- A measuring jug that shows both liters and fluid ounces
There you have it! Now you know how to change from liters to fluid ounces, and you’ve got some fun examples to help you remember! Happy gardening! 🌱
