I want to make a flea bath. I have to pour one gallon of water into a bucket.. The bucket is not marked with gallons. I have an empty water jug that holds 101.4 FL . Oz . How much more of this will I have to pour into the bucket to make one gallon. It also says the water jug holds 3 QT. 5.4 fL OZ. This is a serious question.

MCM don't worry about using the 3 quart 5.4 fluid ounce jug instead use a one cup measuring cup.
**You will need to fill the measuring cup up 16 times.**
There are:
2 cups in a pint
2 pints in a quart
4 quarts in a gallon
1 gallon is equal to 16 cups.
And so two "C's" fit inside a "P," two "P's" fit inside a "Q," and four "Q's" fit inside a big, enormous "G."
It's like "the woman who swallowed a fly" for cups and quarts!
It still takes a few minutes of mental visualization, but with this diagram in mind, you can easily figure out that there are four cups in a quart, 16 cups in a gallon, and so on.

Ok, I could save empty milk 1/2 gallon jugs. And use 2 of them.
But, those are some cool diagrams, CB. :-)
Thank you , everyone for your answers.

101.4 ounces is the same as 3 quarts 5.4 ounces.
A gallon is 128 ounces.
I'm not sure why you don't want to take the time to measure with a quart container (4 cups four times) or a half gallon (64 ounces two times).
If your cats are as important as you have convinced me, the little extra effort shouldn't be an issue.
