Cup (US) to Quart (US) (US cup to US qt)
Result
0.25 Quart (US)
Formula
US qt = US cup × 0.25
1 US cup = 0.25 US qt, and 1 US qt = 4 US cup.
The litre is exactly 1 dm³ (0.001 m³). The US gallon is defined as 231 cubic inches, which makes it exactly 3.785411784 L; quarts, pints, cups and fluid ounces are fixed fractions of it.
Worked examples
- 1 US cup × 0.25 = 0.25 US qt
- 10 US cup × 0.25 = 2.5 US qt
- 100 US cup × 0.25 = 25 US qt
Common mistakes
- US and UK (imperial) measures share names but not sizes: the imperial gallon is 4.54609 L (20% larger), the imperial pint 568 mL and the imperial fluid ounce 28.41 mL.
- This converter uses US customary volumes. A US cup is 236.59 mL, a metric cup 250 mL, and US nutrition labels round a cup to 240 mL.
- US dry measures (dry pint, bushel) are a separate system and are not the same as liquid pints.
