Cups to quarts
There are 4 cups in 1 quart. Then there are pints and gallons to remember too! Rhymes and visuals are helpful to remember mathematical equations and measurement conversions.
Think G-Q-P- Now You "C" Me! Totally made that up, and you can laugh at it but if you remember G-Q-P- Now You "C" Me! -well that is the visual formula for how the liquid measurements are displayed with a G as the largest, and the Q inside, and the P inside that, and the C inside that. And the letters are used on Gallon Man- which presents an even greater visual to remember.
Knowing how many cups in a quart or pint is useful for measuring quantities of ice cream since it is typically measured and comes in pint sized, quart size, and even gallon size quantities. Soup broth is typically purchased in quarts (or 1 box of beef, vegetable, or chicken broth bought at the store). Drinks, milk, and plant-based milks are served in gallons, half gallons and quarts. Knowing how to convert these quantities helps make cooking recipes easier.
