Example: 6.7 pounds is calculated as follows: 0.7 × 16 = 11, or 6 pounds 11 ounces. To obtain cups from quarts, multiply by 4. Example: 3.29 quarts is equal to: 0.29 × 4 = 1.16, or 3 quarts 1.16 cups or about 3 1/4 quarts. To obtain cups from gallons, multiply by 16. Example: 2.85 gallons is equal to: 0.85 × 16 = 13.6 cups, or 2 gallons 13 1/2 cups. To obtain tablespoons from cups, multiply by 16. Example: 2.6 cups is equal to: 0.6 × 16 = 9.6 tablespoons, or about 2 cups 9 1/2 tablespoons.””
