Conversion FAQs
How accurate is converting 125 ml to cups using this method?
This method divides the ml value by 240, which is the standard US cup volume. It provides a reliable approximation, suitable for cooking and baking, but for precise scientific measurements, specialized tools might be necessary.
Can I use this conversion for other liquids besides water?
Yes, because milliliters measure volume regardless of the liquid, so this conversion applies equally to milk, oil, or other liquids, assuming standard US cup measurements are used.
What if my recipe calls for a different cup size, like the UK cup?
The UK cup is approximately 284 ml, so for that, divide the ml value by 284 instead of 240 to get the correct cup measurement based on UK standards.
Why is the result not exactly 0.5 cups when converting 125 ml?
Because 125 ml is slightly more than half of 240 ml, which is the standard cup size. The exact division results in approximately 0.5208 cups, meaning it is just over half a cup.
