Answer 2

231 cubic inches for use in hydraulics mathematics.

Otherwise:
The mouthful starts a tree of units. Most of us are familiar with but a few of the units.

Mouthful = about ½ Ounce

Mouthful X 2 = Jigger (The common bartender jigger is not one ounce, but 1.5 ounce)

Jigger X 2 = the Jack or Jackpot (sometimes a double jigger)

Jack X 2 = Jill (gill) (also about a pail yet another unit)

Jill X 2 = cup (Yes, you do remember this unit! Thus, a cup is equal to 16 mouthfuls! Remember to count them next time you drink a cup of something.)

Cup X 2 = pint (By the way, a “Pint is [not] a pound the world around” for in Britain, it is 1 LB 3 oz.)

Pint X 2 = Quart

Quart X 2 = pottle

Pottle X 2 = Gallon (Yes, there is more than one size of gallon, but we won’t go there today)

Gallon X 2 = peck

Peck X 2 = Half bushel

Half bushel X 2 = bushel

Bushel X 2 = strike , coomb or cask

strike X 2 = barrel (yes, again there are many barrels, but this one is 32 gallons)

barrel X 2 = hogshead

hogshead X 2 = pipe or butt

pipe X 2 = tun (tun and ton sound alike and a tun of water weighs 2,120 pounds) this is probably due to the fact that there were again many different sized tuns)

Answer 3

Four Quarts


Eight Pints

Answer 4

It varies - in USA it is a bit smaller than the old english gallon, but we are using litres now so unless you are looking in an old book or scroll I guess it's US measures. Roughly 3.8 litres.

Answer 5

In the UK it's eight pints which is 160 fluid ounces, I think in the US it would be 136 fluid ounces

Answer 6

approximately 3.8 litres
