Conversion FAQs
How accurate is the conversion of 118 ml to cups?
The conversion is precise when using the standard measurement of 1 cup = 240 ml. Rounding to four decimal places yields 0.4917 cups, suitable for most cooking needs, but small variations depend on measurement tools used.
Can I use this conversion for other types of liquids?
Yes, the conversion applies broadly because volume measurements are consistent regardless of the liquid’s density, assuming standard US measurements. However, for very dense or viscous liquids, weight-based measurement may be more accurate.
Why is the cup measurement different in other countries?
Different countries use varying standards for a cup, with the US cup being 240 ml and the UK cup approximately 284 ml. Always check which standard your recipe or context uses to ensure accurate measurement conversions.
What if I don’t have a measuring cup? How can I measure 118 ml?
You can use a tablespoon as an alternative; since 1 tablespoon equals 15 ml, measure approximately 8 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons for 118 ml. This method helps in situations without precise tools.
