Hi there! Today, we’re going to learn about measuring liquids, which is super useful, especially if you enjoy gardening and need to mix fertilizers or water your plants.
When we talk about liters, we’re referring to a way to measure liquids like water. In gardening, we often use liters to figure out how much water our plants need. But in some places, people prefer to use fluid ounces instead.
What is a Fluid Ounce?
A fluid ounce is another way to describe how much liquid there is, similar to a liter, but smaller. When you want to convert from liters to fluid ounces, there’s a specific amount you can remember:
1 liter is about 33.8 fluid ounces. So, to convert 2.8 liters into fluid ounces, you would do a little math:
First, let’s set up the equation:
$$
2.8 \text{ liters} \times 33.8 \text{ fluid ounces/liter} = ?
$$
Now, if we do the multiplication:
$$
2.8 \times 33.8 = 94.464 \text{ fluid ounces}
$$
So, 2.8 liters is equal to about 94.464 fluid ounces!
Everyday Examples of Equivalent Measurements
Here are some objects that have about the same amount as 2.8 liters or 94.464 fluid ounces:
- A large water bottle (2.5-liter size)

- Four standard wine glasses filled to the rim
- A soda bottle that holds 2.8 liters
- Eight 12-ounce cups of juice
- A medium-sized garden watering can
- A large bowl of soup (like the kind for a family meal)
Now you know how to convert liters to fluid ounces and also have some fun examples of what that measurement looks like in real life, especially in your garden! Happy gardening! 🌱💧
