The conversion factor from quarts to gallons is 0.25, which means that 1 quart is equal to 0.25 gallons:

1 qt = 0.25 gal

To convert 0.5 quarts into gallons we have to multiply 0.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from quarts to gallons. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 qt → 0.25 gal

0.5 qt → V_(gal)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in gallons:

V_(gal) = 0.5 qt × 0.25 gal

V_(gal) = 0.125 gal

The final result is:

0.5 qt → 0.125 gal

We conclude that 0.5 quarts is equivalent to 0.125 gallons:

0.5 quarts = 0.125 gallons
