Precision and Rounding:US and imperial volume units share names but differ in size (an imperial gallon is about 20% larger than a US gallon), so confirm which system a figure uses before converting. Kitchen work tolerates rounding to the nearest milliliter or quarter-teaspoon; fuel, chemistry, and brewing need three or more decimal places.
