| Dan Tilque <dtilque@frontier.com>: Sep 12 05:03AM -0700 Welcome to Rotating Quiz #231. The usual rules apply. This quiz will end next Saturday, 17-Sept-2016, sometime in the evening, my time. This quiz is about US Customary liquid volume measurements. Note that this system is different in some ways from the Imperial units used in other countries. For any question that asks "How large?", you can answer in terms of another unit in this measurement system, where the numbers are going to be a small integer or simple fraction. You don't have to answer in liters or whatever. 1. How many cubic inches are in a gallon? 2. How large is a pottle? 3. How many tablespoons are in a fluid ounce? 4. How many fluid drams are in a tablespoon? 5. How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon? 6. How large is a gill? 7. How many cups are in a pint? 8. How many fluid ounces are in a quart? 9. What's the smallest unit in this measurement system? 10. How many of <answer 9> are in a fluid dram? -- Dan Tilque |
