But don’t worry, we’re here to help! In this article, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about converting between quarts and gallons. We’ll start with a quick review of the basics, then move on to more advanced concepts like conversion factors and dimensional analysis. By the end of this article, you’ll be a pro at converting between quarts and gallons!

As many of you probably know, the U.S. Customary System and the International System of Units (SI) use different terms for some units of measurement. For example, the SI unit for volume is the liter while the corresponding unit in the U.S. Customary System is the gallon. But what may be less known is that there are actually two different types of gallons used in the U.S. Customary System! The first type of gallon, which is less common and sometimes called the “dry gallon”, is used for measuring dry goods such as grains, cereals, and coal. The second type of gallon, which is more common and sometimes called the “liquid gallon”, is used to measure liquids such as milk, gasoline, and water. So what’s the difference between these two types of gallons? And how many quarts are in each one?
