How Many Cups Are in 1½ Quarts? Quick Recipe Conversion

One and a half U.S. liquid quarts equals 6 U.S. cups. Multiply 1.5 by 4 cups per quart, and the result is exactly six cups.

A simple conversion

One quart equals 4 cups; half a quart is 2 cups. Adding them gives 4 + 2 = 6 cups. Another equivalent measure is 48 U.S. fluid ounces.

Example for broth

If a recipe needs 1½ quarts of broth, you can measure three 2-cup portions or six 1-cup portions. Use a clear liquid measuring cup or jug to avoid spills.

Why U.S. versus imperial matters

This answer uses the modern U.S. customary liquid quart and U.S. cup. A British imperial quart is larger, and a metric cup may be defined differently, so verify international recipes.

Avoid confusing mass with volume

Six cups of stock and six cups of flour occupy the same nominal volume but differ hugely in mass. Use ingredient-specific weights for baking precision and keep fluid ounces separate from ounces by weight.
