The Mutchkin and the Noggin (a) A mutchkin is a Scottish unit of liquid measure equal to 0.42 L. How many mutchkins are required to fill a container that measures one foot on a side? (b) A noggin is a volume equal to 0.28 mutchkin. What is the conversion factor between noggins and gallons?
Answer:
(a) 1 mutchkin = 0.42L
Value of 1 cubic foot = 28.316846592 liters
Volume of a cube of side 1ft is 
(b)
1 noggin = 0.28 mutchkins
1 mutchkin = 
1 liquid gallon = 3.7854 L
1 L = 2.380952 mutchkins
1 liquid gallon = 
= 9.01277 mutchkins
Therefore, the conversion between noggins and gallons is
