When you’re gardening, sometimes you need to measure how much water or soil you’re using. One way to measure these liquids is in liters. For example, you might have 11.9 liters of water that you want to convert into quarts so you can better understand how much that is.
Now, let’s see how we can do that! There is a common way to change liters into quarts. One liter is equal to about 1.056688 quarts. So to find out how many quarts are in 11.9 liters, we can do the following math:
First, we multiply the number of liters by the conversion factor:
$$
11.9 \text{ liters} \times 1.056688 \text{ quarts/liter} \approx 12.57 \text{ quarts}
$$
So, 11.9 liters of water is about 12.57 quarts!
To help you visualize this amount, here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 11.9 liters:
- Almost 3 gallons (since 1 gallon is about 3.785 liters)
- About 12.5 standard water bottles (if each bottle is 1 liter)
- Around 8 large soda bottles (if each soda bottle is 1.5 liters)
- A large fish tank (many small fish tanks hold around 10-15 liters)
- A medium-sized pitcher (usually holds around 2 liters)
- About 32 cups of water (since there are 4 cups in a liter)
- About 12 soda cans (typical soda cans hold around 355 mL, which is 0.355 liters each)
By thinking in terms you can see and use in your backyard, you can understand just how much 11.9 liters really is when you’re watering your plants!
