Quart (US)
The US quart equals 2 pints or 32 fluid ounces (~946.353 milliliters). Its name derives from “quartus,” meaning one-fourth of a gallon. Quarts are used in cooking, beverage packaging, and household measures, providing a convenient medium-sized unit. The quart’s integration into the US customary system allows cooks and manufacturers to scale recipes and liquid volumes efficiently.

The US tablespoon, symbolized as Tbsp, equals 3 teaspoons or approximately 14.7868 milliliters. Originally based on the dining table spoon, it became standardized in the United States for cooking and nutrition. Tablespoons are widely used in recipes, food labeling, and the pharmaceutical industry. Like teaspoons, they enable consistent measurements in both home kitchens and professional culinary settings.
