  2. Where results are editable, change one to solve backwards. Lock a value to hold it fixed.
  3. Use the worked example to check the method. Reset restores the starting fields.

Formula and method

1 liter equals 1000 milliliters and 0.001 cubic meter. Select the US or imperial gallon convention before converting to gallons.

Every field is the same volume; 1 US liquid gallon = 231 in³; 1 imperial gallon = 4.54609 L.

Worked example

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Metric spoons are 15 mL per tablespoon and 5 mL per teaspoon. US customary spoons use 1/256 and 1/768 of a US liquid gallon.
  • The generic cup denotes 236.59 mL; choose US customary cup (236.5882365 mL), US legal cup (240 mL), or metric cup (250 mL) deliberately. Dry gallons and quarts use the US dry bushel definition.
  • Clear the value you want to solve before entering the remaining independent measurements. Display rounding does not describe measurement uncertainty.

Common questions

How should I enter an unknown quantity?

Leave the unknown field empty. Supply enough independent values; lock a known value if you need to preserve it while changing another control.

References

Replace rounded captured unit factors with exact definitions or explicitly identified CODATA 2022 central values; preserve all choices and original captures.
