Equivalencies 3 t = 1 T 2 T = 1 oz. 4 T = ¼ cup 5 1/3 T = 1/3 cup
5 T + 1 t = 1/3 c 10 2/3 T = 2/3 cup 10 T + 2 t = 2/3 c How many T = 1 cup?
7
Equivalencies 1 gal. = 4 qt. 1 qt. = 2 pt. 1 pt. = 2 c. 1 c. = 8 oz.
8
Equivalencies – fluid ounces
For Liquids: 1 c = 8 oz. 1 pt = 2 c = 16 oz. 1 qt = 2 pt = 4 c = 32 oz. ½ gal = 2 qt = 4 pt = 8 c =64 oz. Figure it out! 1 gal = __ qt = __ pt = __ c = __ oz
9
Equivalencies - pounds
1 lb = 16 oz. 1 lb butter=2 cups = 4 sticks How much is in one stick?
