How to Convert Pecks to Bushels
Besides being lyrics from a popular song, a bushel and a peck are both actual units of measurement. Both a bushel and peck measure capacity in both the the U.S. Customary and the British Imperial Systems, but in the U.S.they are only used for dry measurement while in the UK they can be used for both liquid and dry units. Since there are four pecks in a bushel, converting the measurements is quite easy.
