US Gallon
A US gallon (gal) is a common unit of volume used mainly in the United States for measuring liquids such as fuel, milk, and other beverages. One US gallon equals 4 quarts, 8 pints, or 128 fluid ounces, making it a practical size for everyday containers and large-scale liquid purchases. It’s widely recognized at gas stations and in grocery stores, where gallon jugs are frequently sold.
Because the US gallon differs from the Imperial gallon used in the UK, conversions can get confusing across countries. An online converter helps accurately translate gallons into liters or other units for travel, shopping, or cooking with international recipes.
Tablespoon
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a common US customary unit of volume often used in cooking and measuring small quantities of ingredients. One tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons or about 14.79 milliliters, making it a practical unit for sauces, oils, spices, and baking ingredients. Because it appears in nearly every recipe, the tablespoon is a familiar part of kitchen measurement tools.
When converting tablespoons to other units — such as cups, teaspoons, or milliliters — the numbers don’t always convert cleanly. A converter helps ensure accuracy so recipes turn out correctly, especially when working with international sources that use metric measurements.
