Step by step

1 × 32 = 32

  1. A US quart is 32 fluid ounces (2 pints of 16), so to get fluid ounces, multiply the quarts by 32: 1 × 32 = 32.
  2. Cups: 1 × 4 = 4. Pints: 1 × 2 = 2. Gallons: 1 / 4 = 0.25.
  3. Milliliters: a quart is 946.352946 mL, so 1 × 946.352946 = 946.4.

Formula

fl oz = quarts × 32
1 quart = 32 fl oz = 4 cups = 2 pints

How it works

A US quart is 32 fluid ounces. A fluid ounce is a measure of volume, and a quart is a quarter of a gallon, which holds 128 fluid ounces, so 128 / 4 = 32. To change quarts to ounces, multiply by 32: 2 quarts are 64 fl oz and 1 1/2 quarts are 48 fl oz. To change ounces to quarts, divide by 32: 16 fl oz are half a quart, 8 fl oz are a quarter, and 1 fl oz is 1/32 of a quart, or 0.03125.

The word ounce names two different units. The fluid ounce measures volume and is the one this converter uses. The ounce on a kitchen scale measures weight: 16 of them make a pound, and one is about 28.35 grams. A fluid ounce of water weighs about 1.04 ounces, so a quart of water, which is 32 fluid ounces, weighs about 33.4 ounces or 2.09 pounds. Other liquids and dry foods weigh more or less per fluid ounce, so a weight in ounces cannot be turned into quarts without knowing the ingredient.

Quarts also come in other sizes. A US dry quart, used for berries and other produce, is 1.101 liters and holds 37.24 US fluid ounces, because it is 16% larger than the liquid quart. A UK imperial quart holds 40 imperial fluid ounces, which is 38.43 US fluid ounces, because an imperial fluid ounce is only 28.41 mL. For cups, pints and gallons, see the cups in a quart converter, the quarts in a gallon converter and the ounces in a gallon converter.

The formula

The 32 comes from the definitions of the US customary system: a pint is 16 fluid ounces and a quart is 2 pints. The metric sizes follow from the exact inch. A gallon of 231 cubic inches at 16.387064 mL each is 3,785.411784 mL, so a fluid ounce, one 128th of it, is exactly 29.5735295625 mL, and a quart of 32 of them is 946.352946 mL. Rounding happens only when a result is shown.

Cups are fluid ounces / 8, pints are fluid ounces / 16 and gallons are fluid ounces / 128. The quart fraction for ounces uses the amount exactly as typed, up to three decimals, so 12 fl oz give 3/8 of a quart and 20 fl oz give 5/8.

Example

A juice bottle is labeled 40 fl oz. How many quarts is that?

  1. A quart is 32 fluid ounces, so divide: 40 / 32 = 1.25 quarts.
  2. As a mixed number that is 1 1/4 quarts, which is 1 quart plus 8 fluid ounces, or 5 cups.

40 fluid ounces = 1.25 quarts (1 1/4), or 1,182.9 mL.
