The document provides information about converting between customary units of measurement for capacity and weight. It defines the relationships between various units of capacity, including that 8 fluid ounces equals 1 cup, 2 cups equals 1 pint, 2 pints equals 1 quart, and 4 quarts equals 1 gallon. It also defines the relationships for units of weight, including that 16 ounces equals 1 pound and 2000 pounds equals 1 ton. It then provides examples of converting between gallons and quarts, and between pounds and tons.
