A common Winchester bushel (the standard of the United States) contains 2150.42 cubic inches.
A dry quart contains 67.2 cubic inches.
A liquid quart contains 57.75 cubic inches.
Example 1: Reduce 5 bushels 2 pecks 4 quarts 1 pint to pints.
Operation:
| 4 | 8 | 2 | |
| bu. | pk. | qt. | pts. |
| 5 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
| 4 | |||
| 22 | pk. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 180 | qt. | ||
| 2 | |||
| 361 | pt. | ||
Explanation: As there are 4 pecks in 1 bushel, any number of bushels is equal to 4 times that number of pecks. Then, 5 bushels = 20 pecks, and 2 pecks added make 22 pecks. As there are 8 quarts in 1 peck, any number of pecks is equal to 8 times that number of quarts. Then 22 pecks = 176 quarts, and 4 quarts added make 180 quarts. As there are 2 pints in 1 quart, any number of quarts is equal to 2 times that number of pints. Then, 180 quarts = 360 pints, and 1 pint added make 361 pints. Hence, 5 bushels 2 pecks 4 quarts 1 pint = 361 pints.
Example 2: Reduce 361 pints to bushels.
