It is important to think about ways to conserve, or save, water. A little water here, a little water there—it might not seem like you use that much water during the day. But have you ever measured the amount of water you use when you brush your teeth or take a shower? It might be more than you think.
Some people estimate that you use 4 quarts of water every time you brush your teeth if you leave the faucet running. That means that if you brush your teeth twice a day, you are using 8 quarts a day, which is 2,920 quarts a year!
It's hard to understand how much 2,920 quarts is. Sometimes, converting, or changing, a measurement into another unit helps you understand how large that amount truly is. In this lesson, you will learn how to convert different units of measurement.
