    Junior is planning a hiking trip. According to the survival guide book he has been reading, the average person needs 1  gallon  of water to drink per day. If he plans on taking a 3 day hike, how many fluid  ounces  of water will Junior need?
    ::年轻人正在计划徒步旅行。 根据他一直在阅读的《生存指南》,平均人每天需要1加仑的水喝。 如果他计划徒步3天,那么他需要多少流体盎司的水?

    In this concept, you will learn about customary units of  capacity .
    ::在这个概念中,你会了解习惯能力单位。

    Identifying Equal Customary Units of Capacity
    ::确定平等的习惯能力单位

    Capacity  is the volume or the amount of liquid an item can hold. There are several customary units of capacity.
    ::容量是物品可以持有的液体的容量或数量,有几种习惯的能力单位。

    Here are the common units of capacity from smallest to largest.
    ::这是从最小到最大的共同能力单位。

    1. Fluid ounces (fl oz)
      ::流流盎司( fl oz)
    2. Cups
      ::杯数
    3. Pints
      ::提示
    4. Quarts
      ::方格
    5. Gallons
      ::加仑

    You may have to figure out how many cups are in a  pint  or how many quarts are in a gallon. These types of conversions are often necessary when doing an activity involving liquids, like cooking. To convert different units of capacity, you need to know how much of one unit is equal to another unit. Here is a table that shows  equivalent  customary units of capacity.
    ::您可能需要弄清楚一品脱杯中有多少杯子,或者加仑中有多少夸特。 当从事涉及液体的活动时,这些类型的转换往往是必要的, 比如烹饪。 要转换不同的容量单位, 您需要知道一个单位的多少与另一个单位的等量。 这是一张显示等量习惯容量单位的表格 。

    To use the table, match up one of the red numbers with the units you are changing to. For example, the basic relationship between cups and fluid ounces is 1  cup  = 8 fl oz. Between quarts and pints, the basic relationship is 1 qt = 2 pt. Between gallons and pints: 1 gal = 8 pt.
    ::要使用表格, 请将红色数字之一与您正在更改的单位匹配。 例如, 杯和液体盎司之间的基本关系是 1 杯 = 8 fl oz。 在 夸脱 和 品脱 之间, 基本关系是 1 qt = 2 pt 。 在加仑 和 品脱 之间: 1 gal = 8 pt 。

    Use the information in the table to convert customary units of capacity.
    ::使用表中的信息转换习惯能力单位。

    36 fluid ounces = _____ cups
    ::36盎司液体=____杯

    First, figure out if you need to multiply or divide. Check the units. Divide when converting a smaller unit to a larger unit, fluid ounces to cups. 
    ::首先, 找出您是否需要乘或除。 检查单位 。 当将较小单位转换为较大单位时, 以液盎司转换为杯, 以除法 。

    Then, check the table for the unit  equivalence .
    ::然后,检查表格的单位等值。

    8 fl oz = 1 cup 
    ::8 kl oz = 1 杯

    Finally, divide the number of ounces by 8.
    ::最后,将盎司数除以8。

    36  ÷  8 =  4 1 2

    The answer is 32 fluid ounces is equal to  4 1 2  cups. 
    ::答案是32盎司液 等于412杯

    Here is another conversion problem.
    ::这是另一个转换问题。

    4 quarts = _____ ounces 
    ::4 夸特= 盎司

    First, figure out if you need to multiply or divide. Check the units. Multiply when converting a larger unit to a smaller unit, quarts to ounces. 
    ::首先, 找出是否需要乘或除。 检查单位 。 当将较大单位转换为较小单位时, 乘以 quarts 和 盎司 。

    Then, check the table for the unit equivalence. 
    ::然后,检查表格的单位等值。

    32 fl oz = 1 qt
    ::32 km oz = 1 qt = 1 qt

    Finally, multiply the number of quarts by 32. 
    ::最后,将夸特数量乘以32。

    32  ×  4  =  128

    The answer is 4 quarts is equal to 128 fluid ounces.
    ::答案是 4 夸特等于 128 液态盎司。
