    5 1/8 gallons of water is same as

    20 1/2 quarts, 41 pints, 82 cups, 1312 tablespoons, 19.3725 liters of water

    Step-by-step explanation:

    What I understand from the question is for us to state most of the major units for measuring the amount of liquid and to convert the given amount (the one from the question) to those units.

    Below are some of the units and conversion rate for measuring the amount of liqud

    1 fluid ounce = 29.57 milliliters

    1 pint = 0.47 liters = 470 milliliters

    1 quart = 0.95 liters = 950 milliliters

    1 gallon = 3.78 liters = 3,780 milliliters

    1 milliliter = 0.03 fluid ounces

    1 liter = 1,000 milliliters = 2.11 pints

    1 liter = 1.06 quarts

    1 liter = 0.26 gallons1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons

    1 fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons = 6 teaspoons

    1 cup = 8 fluid ounces = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons

    1 pint = 2 cups = 16 fluid ounces = 32 tablespoons

    1 quart = 2 pints = 4 cups = 32 fluid ounces = 64 tablespoons

    1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups = 128 fluid ounces

    From here, we are going to try to convert to 5 different units.

    Since she has 5 1/8 gallons we will convert it to litres, pint, quarts, cups and tablespoon.

    Let's first do that of quarts

    Since 1 gallon = 4 quarts,

    5 1/8 gallons = x quarts

    From the above, just do a cross multiplication and you'd get

    X = 20 1/2 quarts.

    Let's do that of pints

    Since 1 gallon = 8 pints,

    5 1/8 gallons = x pints

    From the above, just do a cross multiplication and you'd get

    X = 41 pints of water

    Let's do that of cuos

    Since 1 gallon = 16 cups,

    5 1/8 gallons = x cups

    From the above, just do a cross multiplication and you'd get

    X = 82 cups if water

    Let's now do that of tablespoon

    Since 5 1/8 gallon = 82 cups of water AND

    1 cup of water = 16 tablespoon, then 5 1/8 gallon of water will be:

    82 * 16 = 1312 tablespoons of water.

    Now let's do one final conversion, that of gallons to liter.

    1 gallon = 3.78 liters

    5 1/8 = x liters

    Cross multiply and we have

    x = 19.3725 liters
