Customary Units of Capacity
Property
The customary system uses specific units to measure capacity, which is the amount a container can hold.
In this Grade 5 lesson from enVision Mathematics Chapter 12, students learn how to convert customary units of capacity — including fluid ounces, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons — by multiplying to change larger units to smaller units and dividing to change smaller units to larger units. Students apply these conversion relationships using multiplication with mixed numbers and division to solve real-world problems involving recipes and punch-making.
