About Converting Cubic Centimeters to Quarts
Cubic Centimeter and Quart appear side by side at fuel pumps and on beverage labels, since the US measures liquids in gallons while most of the world uses liters. Specifically: Cubic metric volume unit, and a US liquid quart is one quarter of a US gallon.
Formula
quarts = cubic centimeters × 0.00105668820943
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic centimeter equals 0.000001 base units, and 1 quart equals 0.000946352946 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic centimeter-to-quart factor of 0.00105668820943.
Simple example
1 cm3 × 0.001056688209 = 0.0010566882 qt
1 cubic centimeter = 0.0010566882 quarts.
Real-world example
10 cm3 × 0.001056688209 = 0.0105668821 qt
10 cubic centimeters = 0.0105668821 quarts.
