Hey there! Today we’re going to learn how to convert liters to fluid ounces. This is important, especially when you’re watering your garden and need to know how much water to use.
Liters are a unit of measurement used to measure liquids, like the water you use for your plants. On the other hand, fluid ounces are another way to measure liquids, but it’s commonly used in the United States.
To convert from liters to fluid ounces, you can use this helpful formula:
$$
\text{Fluid Ounces} = \text{Liters} \times 33.814
$$
So, if you have 1.8 liters of water, you can find out how many fluid ounces that is by multiplying:
$$
1.8 \, \text{liters} \times 33.814 = 60.87 \, \text{fluid ounces}
$$
This means that 1.8 liters of water is approximately 60.87 fluid ounces. That’s about the same amount of water you could use to fill a few of your gardening supplies!
Here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 1.8 liters or 60.87 fluid ounces:
- A large water bottle (1.8L)
- A medium-sized juice jug (1.8L)
- Two standard-sized soda cans (12 fluid ounces each = 24 fl oz)
- A small cooler filled with water (1.8L)
- A pitcher for lemonade (1.8L)
- A standard bottle of cooking oil (1.8L)
- One and a half coffee mugs that hold 16 fluid ounces each (16 fl oz x 1.5 ≈ 24 fl oz)
Now you’re ready to measure and water your garden with just the right amount of liquid. Happy gardening!
