4. Conversion:

   • To convert Imperial pecks to liters, multiply the number of pecks by 9.09218.
   • To convert liters to Imperial pecks, divide the number of liters by 9.09218.
   • To convert Imperial pecks to cubic inches, multiply the number of pecks by 554.84.
   • To convert cubic inches to Imperial pecks, divide the number of cubic inches by 554.84.

1. United Kingdom: The primary country where the Imperial peck is used, particularly in agriculture and traditional market settings.

2. Canada: Although Canada officially uses the metric system, the Imperial peck is still used in some agricultural contexts, particularly for fruits and vegetables.

3. Australia: Australia officially uses the metric system, but the Imperial peck might still be encountered in certain traditional or historical agricultural contexts.

4. New Zealand: Similarly to Australia, New Zealand uses the metric system but may use the Imperial peck in specific traditional contexts.

5. Other Commonwealth Countries: Some other countries with historical ties to the British Empire might use the Imperial peck in certain agricultural or traditional contexts, though the metric system is typically predominant.

In summary, the Imperial peck is a unit of volume in the Imperial system, equal to 2 Imperial gallons or approximately 9.09218 liters. It is primarily used in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries for measuring dry goods in agricultural and traditional contexts.
