How many fl oz is in 6 qt?
that depends on whether you are using the US System or the Imperial System. in the US System a quart is two pints and a pint is 16 US fluid ounces, so 6 quarts is 192 US fluid ounces. In the Imperial System (used in the British Empire after 1824) a quart is still two pints, but a pint is 20 Imperial fluid ounces. So in the Imperial System 6 quarts is 240 Imperial fluid ounces. US fluid ounces are a little larger than Imperial fluid ounces.
