Hey there! Today we’re going to learn about measurement conversions, which is super helpful in gardening or cooking when we want to use our ingredients or supplies correctly.
Now, you might have heard about liters and quarts before. They are both ways to measure volume, which tells us how much space something takes up. In gardening, you might use liters to measure how much water you need for your plants or how much soil you want to use for potting.

What is a Liter?
A liter is a unit of measurement often used for liquids. It’s about the same as a large bottle of soda or a big jug of water.
What is a Quart?
A quart, on the other hand, is another way to measure liquids. It’s smaller than a liter! In fact, 1 liter is approximately equal to 1.057 quarts. So if you have 35 liters, you want to know how many quarts that is.
Converting Liters to Quarts
To find out how many quarts are in 35 liters, we can use a simple calculation:
$$
\text{Quarts} = \text{Liters} \times 1.057
$$
If we put 35 liters into our equation:
$$
\text{Quarts} = 35 \times 1.057 \approx 37.995
$$
So, about 38 quarts is what you get when you convert 35 liters!
Real-Life Objects that are 35 Liters or 38 Quarts
Let’s look at some things that can help you visualize that measurement:
- A medium-sized garden watering can (that holds around 35 liters).
- A big bucket used for carrying damp soil or mulch.
- Five average-sized jugs of ice tea, with each jug holding about 7.1 liters.
- A large fish tank that can contain 35 liters of water for your pet fish.
- A small bathtub that can be filled with about 35 liters of water.
- A cooler that holds 35 liters of drinks for a picnic.
- Two large bags of fertilizer, with each bag containing 17.5 liters.
And there you have it! Understanding how to convert liters to quarts can really help you in gardening and many other fun activities! 🌱
