I don’t know what william is going on about. I live in Canada and we use the metric system for everything except cooking. Which means that no one ever knows the conversions, because we get taught metric, not these arcane measurements. (I’m lucky – my parents grew up in Canada, so I learned these numbers from them.)
You guys don’t use the metric system for cooking? I’d just kind of assumed everyone else did, since there’s a metric conversion on the opposite side of all my measuring cups.

You’d still have to know a quart is 4 cups.

And how many quarts are in a half gallon.

Yeah, I don’t even know how quarts and cups are related – and what they have to do with gallons…
– insert snarky comment about the benefits of the metric system here 😉

Quarts to a half gallon is easy, 1/4=1 whole, quart/quater, 4 quarts=full gallon full gallon/2.
Wanderer
Gallon=4 quarts Quart=2 pints Pint=2 cups Now, how many tablespoons are in a cup I never remember.

2T in my coffee scoop, which is also 1/8c, so that’d be 16T per cup if my pre-coffee brain is mathing right this morning.

Heya! It is a lot of milk, but it was for a hot chocolate recipe I’d never tried, so I wanted to make sure I got the proportions right.
