How many fluid ounces are in a gallon?

The correct answer is: $128\text{ fl oz (US)}$

Explanation

In the US liquid system, a gallon breaks down into quarts, pints, and fluid ounces. Multiply the conversion factors to get the number of fluid ounces per gallon.

Steps:

  1. Relationship facts:

$$1\text{ gal}=4\text{ qt},\quad 1\text{ qt}=2\text{ pt},\quad 1\text{ pt}=16\text{ fl oz}$$

  1. Multiply through:

$$1\text{ gal}=4\times2\times16\text{ fl oz}=128\text{ fl oz}$$

Therefore, one US gallon equals $128\text{ fl oz}$.

Note: The Imperial (UK) gallon is different: $$1\text{ imp gal}=160\text{ imp fl oz}$$
