The metric system uses the liter (L) as the base unit for volume. For smaller volumes, milliliters (mL) are used. One liter equals the volume of a cube with 10-centimeter sides.
The imperial system uses various units for volume, especially in cooking and daily life in the United States:
To convert liters to gallons, multiply the number of liters by 0.264172. For example, 10 liters × 0.264172 = 2.64172 gallons.
To convert gallons to liters, multiply the number of gallons by 3.78541. For example, 10 gallons × 3.78541 = 37.8541 liters.
To convert cups to milliliters, multiply the number of cups by 236.588. For example, 2 cups × 236.588 = 473.176 mL.
To convert fluid ounces to milliliters, multiply the number of fluid ounces by 29.5735. For example, 12 fl oz × 29.5735 = 354.882 mL.
There are 1,000 milliliters (mL) in 1 liter (L). This is a standard metric conversion.
