To understand this conversion, it’s important to know that fluid ounces (oz) and gallons (gal) are both units of volume commonly used in the United States.
A gallon is a larger unit of volume, while an ounce is a smaller unit. There are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon because a gallon is defined as 128 fluid ounces. This conversion factor remains constant.
So, if you have a gallon of liquid and you want to know how many fluid ounces it contains, you can multiply the number of gallons by 128 to get the equivalent amount in fluid ounces. Conversely, if you have a certain number of fluid ounces and you want to convert it to gallons, you can divide that number by 128 to get the equivalent amount in gallons.
For example:
- 1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces
- 2 gallons = 2 * 128 = 256 fluid ounces
- 64 fluid ounces = 64 / 128 = 0.5 gallons
Remember, this conversion is specific to fluid ounces and gallons used in the United States. In other countries, different units may be used, and the conversion factors may vary.
