To convert 500 gallons into quarts we have to multiply 500 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from gallons to quarts. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 gal → 4 qt

500 gal → V_(qt)

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

V_(qt) = 500 gal × 4 qt

V_(qt) = 2000 qt

The final result is:

500 gal → 2000 qt

We conclude that 500 gallons is equivalent to 2000 quarts:

500 gallons = 2000 quarts
