It depends on where you are in the world as to what the correct answer is. If you are in the US, 1 Gallon is equal to 128 fluid ounces. But in the UK 1 Gallon is equal to 160 fluid ounces. There are many ways to find out these answers, the internet being the quickest and most reliable source. There are plenty of conversion charts on the web which are extremely easy to use, but be careful to choose the correct country as the US differs slightly from other countries. For example, the US fluid ounce is about 4 per cent larger than the UK fluid ounce, hence the answer to this question differs. If you cannot get to a laptop or computer then an encyclopaedia or a library would give you the answers. Gallons, quarts, pints and fluid ounces are all the old Imperial system of fluid measurement. This system was used for centuries in Britain, the Commonwealth and the USA. A new system was founded in France in the 18th Century. Before scales were invented people used to measure in cups and spoonfuls. Some old cook books will still use cups and spoonfuls for recipes especially in the US. For example, 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces or 16 tablespoons, which in Metric is 237 millilitres.

When Metric came into force some folk found it extremely difficult to adjust even though children have been taught in schools since the 70's, but old habits die hard and people continued to use the Imperial measurements and still do to this day. You can still find Imperial measurement in supermarkets usually showing the Metric weight with the Imperial weight in brackets. Most people in the UK and the US still use pounds and ounces and feet and inches.

Here are a few websites that will help you convert Imperial to Metric.

There are 8 oz in a cup and 2 cups in a pint and 2 pints in a quart and
4 quarts in a gallon so there are 128 oz in a gallon.

You can also say it another way, like, 128 ounces is 16 cups which is 8 pints which is 4 quarts which is 1 gallon.

One US gallon is equal to 128 ounces In the British system, a gallon of water weighs 10lbs or 160 ounces, so there are 160 fluid ounces in a gallon, and 20 fluid ounces in a pint. From this we know that a fluid ounce of water does actually weigh an ounce.
Thus, an American fluid ounce is bigger than the British fluid ounce by almost about 4%. And an American fluid ounce of water doesn't weight an ounce.
So, the result is that the US gallon is 83.267% of the British gallon. In other terms, we can say that the British gallon is about a 5th greater than the US gallon, and the US gallon is about 5/6 of the British gallon or a little less then 7 British pints.

16 ounces to a pint , 2 pints to a quart ,4 quarts to a gallon . 2 pints x 16 ounces =32 ounces or 1 quart. 32 ounces(1quart) x 4 quarts =128 ounces or 1 gallon.
