1 quart = 4 cups. A quart is a quarter of a gallon, hence the name 'quart'.

💡Remember: Quart = Quarter gallon = 4 cups. Easy!

1 quart = 2 pints. And since each pint is 2 cups, that's how we get 4 cups per quart.

💡A pint is 16 fluid ounces, a quart is 32 fluid ounces.

1 gallon = 4 quarts = 16 cups. So a gallon contains 4 quarts or 16 cups of liquid.

💡Gallon → Quart → Pint → Cup (each is ¼ of the previous).

1 US quart = 946 milliliters (approximately 1 liter). 1 US quart = 0.95 liters.

💡For rough cooking estimates, treat 1 quart as approximately 1 liter.

A half quart equals 2 cups (or 1 pint or 16 fluid ounces).

There are 32 fluid ounces in 1 quart. Each cup is 8 fluid ounces × 4 cups = 32 ounces.

1 liter = 1.057 quarts. For practical purposes, a liter and a quart are nearly the same (liter is slightly larger).
