Default Find text, then calculate

I have a spreadsheet that has 3 sizes in a text string in cells. For example,
A2 may have 1 Gal, A3 may have 1 Qt and A4 may have 5 Gal.

I want to create an IF statement that looks for those sizes in the Column A,
and if it finds either 1 Qt or 5 Gal, I want it to take the quantity in
column D and divide by 5 for the 5 gal and multiply by 4 for the 1 Qt. (I'm
trying to convert everything to gallons).

I've tried multiple formulas, but the best I can do is have it report true
or false.

TIA.
