Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 8: 5 × 8 ≈ 40 pt, against the exact 40 pt (0.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A US gallon is bigger than a US pint, so the number of US pints must come out larger than the number of US gallons. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
