US vs UK

The quart is not the same size everywhere. A US quart is 32 US fluid ounces, or about 0.946 liters. An imperial (UK) quart is 40 imperial fluid ounces, or about 1.137 liters — roughly 20% larger. The UK no longer uses the cup as a standard measure, so most British recipes list volume in milliliters or grams. When a recipe specifies cups and quarts, it is almost always using US customary units.

Quick Kitchen Reference

Unit	Cups	Pints	Quarts	Gallons
1 cup	1	0.5	0.25	1/16
1 pint	2	1	0.5	1/8
1 quart	4	2	1	1/4
1 gallon	16	8	4	1

Reading down the chart, each unit doubles or quadruples the one before it: 2 cups make a pint, 2 pints make a quart, and 4 quarts make a gallon. That means 1 gallon holds 16 cups, exactly four times the 4 cups in a single quart.
