Okay, let’s talk about liters and fluid ounces! These are both ways to measure liquids. When you’re out in the garden, you might use liters to measure how much water your plants need. But, sometimes you might see fluid ounces on your fertilizer or garden spray bottles.
Now, here’s how we change liters to fluid ounces.
One liter is equal to about 33.8 fluid ounces. If we want to find out how many fluid ounces are in 50 liters, we can use a little math:
First, we take the number of liters ($50$) and multiply it by how many fluid ounces are in one liter ($33.8$):
$$
50 \text{ liters} \times 33.8 \text{ fluid ounces/liter} = 1690 \text{ fluid ounces}
$$
So, 50 liters is equal to 1690 fluid ounces!
Now, let’s think about some things around the garden that can help us visualize what 1690 fluid ounces looks like. Here are 7 objects that can hold exactly 50 liters or 1690 fluid ounces of liquid:
- A large garden sprayer
- A big watering can
- A standard rain barrel
- A hefty container for potting mix
- A large backpack sprayer for pesticides
- A big fish tank (if it’s measured usually in liters)
- A jumbo-sized cooler for drinks
These objects can help you understand just how much liquid we’re talking about when we measure 50 liters!
