    The document outlines the common volume units in the U.S. system as teaspoons, tablespoons, fluid ounces, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. It then describes the metric system's volume units which use prefix multipliers of 10, with liters as the base unit and kiloliters, hectoliters, decaliters, deciliters, centiliters and milliliters as larger or smaller units that are multiples or fractions of 10 of liters.

    U.S.

    Volume Units

    The common measures of volume in the U.S. system of measurements are:

     teaspoons
     tablespoons = 3 teaspoons
     fluid ounces = 2 tablespoons, 6 teaspoons
     cups = 8 fluid ounces, 16 tablespoons
     pints = 2 cups, 16 fluid ounces
     quarts = 2 pints, 4 cups
     gallons = 4 quarts, 8 pints, 16 cups

    Converting Metric Volume Units

    The metric system has prefix modifiers that are multiples of 10.

     A kiloliter is 1000 liters


     A hectoliter is 100 liters
     A decaliter is 10 liters
     A liter is the basic unit of volume
     A deciliter is 1/10 liter
     A centiliter is 1/100 liter
     A milliliter is 1/1000 liter

    As we move down the units, the next unit is one tenth as large. As we move
    upward, each unit is 10 times as large. One hundred milliliters, which is 1/10 liter
    (100/1000=1/10) are larger than one centiliter (1/100th liter).
