Understanding Liters and Fluid Ounces
First, let’s break it down. A liter is a metric measurement that is often used for liquids. It’s about the size of a large bottle of soda. A fluid ounce, on the other hand, is a smaller measurement commonly used in the US for drinks or cooking.
Now, to change liters to fluid ounces, we use a special number. One liter is equal to approximately 33.814 fluid ounces. So, to find out how many fluid ounces are in 120 liters, we can use the equation:
$$
120 \, \text{liters} \times 33.814 \, \text{fl. oz per liter} = 4,057.68 \, \text{fluid ounces}
$$
So, that means 120 liters is equal to about 4,057.68 fluid ounces. This is a lot of water!

To help you understand how much that is, here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 4,057.68 fluid ounces:
