With is the ratio between the base units Fluid Ounce (fl-oz) and Liter (l).
Let's convert 5 Centiliter (cl) to Gallon (gal).
Using the formula:
Therefore, 5 Centiliter (cl) is equal to Gallon (gal).

A centiliter (cl) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a liter.
It's a common measurement you'll often see on beverage containers and in recipes.
The centiliter is directly related to the liter, the base unit of volume in the metric system. The prefix "centi-" means one-hundredth, which makes the conversion very simple.
There are 100 centiliters in one liter:
While scientists often use milliliters, you can find centiliters on many everyday consumer products, especially in Europe.
Common examples include:
Converting between centiliters and milliliters is easy because the metric system is based on units of 10. Since "milli" means one-thousandth, the rule is simple:
To convert centiliters to milliliters, you multiply the number of centiliters by 10.
For example, a standard 75 cl wine bottle contains 750 milliliters (ml).
75 cl × 10 = 750 ml
A gallon (gal) is a unit of volume, most commonly associated with the imperial and US customary systems of measurement.
It is equal to 128 Fluid Ounces (fl-oz).
A common point of confusion is the difference between the US gallon and the imperial gallon (used in the UK and other Commonwealth nations).
They are not the same size!
This difference stems from historical definitions that were standardized differently in the US and Britain during the 18th and 19th centuries.
So, if you're comparing fuel efficiency, remember that "miles per gallon" ratings are based on different-sized gallons!
The word "gallon" has a rich history, tracing its roots back through several languages.
It originates from the Old Northern French word galon, which referred to a liquid measure.
This term is believed to have originated from the Gallo-Roman word gallēta, meaning a "pail" or "bucket." The ultimate origin likely goes back to a Celtic word, highlighting the unit's long-standing use in European trade and daily life for centuries.
While we typically associate the gallon with liquids, there is also a US dry gallon.
This unit, not commonly used today, is equivalent to one-eighth of a bushel, or about 4.405 liters. It was historically used to measure dry goods such as grain or fruit.
This is also why the famous "10-gallon hat" is a misnomer; its name doesn't refer to its volume.
Instead, it is thought to originate from the Spanish word galón, meaning "braid," which refers to the braided band on the hat.
