Conversion Formula
The formula used to convert milliliters (ml) to cups is dividing the number of ml by 240, because 1 cup is equal to 240 ml. This works because the measurement of a cup is standardized in the US measurement system. For example, 480 ml divided by 240 equals 2 cups.
Mathematically, the formula is: cups = ml / 240. If you have 250 ml, dividing 250 by 240 gives approximately 1.05 cups, showing how many cups the volume represents.
Conversion Example
- Example 1: Convert 300 ml to cups:
- Divide 300 by 240.
- 300 / 240 = 1.25.
- So, 300 ml equals 1.25 cups.
- Example 2: Convert 150 ml to cups:
- Divide 150 by 240.
- 150 / 240 = 0.625.
- Therefore, 150 ml is 0.625 cups.
- Example 3: Convert 500 ml to cups:
- Divide 500 by 240.
- 500 / 240 ≈ 2.0833.
- Thus, 500 ml is roughly 2.08 cups.

Conversion FAQs
How accurate is the conversion from ml to cups?
The conversion is quite accurate when using the standard US measurement where 1 cup equals 240 ml. Variations occur if different cup sizes are used, but for most recipes and measurements, dividing ml by 240 provides a reliable estimate.
Can I use this conversion for both liquid and dry ingredients?
This conversion applies most accurately for liquids because volume measurements like ml and cups are designed for fluid volumes. Dry ingredients may vary in volume depending on their shape and density, so conversions can be less precise.
What if my recipe uses metric units but I only have cups?
Use the conversion factor where 1 cup equals 240 ml. For example, to convert ml to cups, divide the milliliter amount by 240. This helps in adjusting recipes without metric measuring tools, especially in baking or cooking.
Is there a difference between US cups and imperial cups in this conversion?
Yes, there is a difference. US cups are standardized at 240 ml, while imperial cups are slightly larger at 284 ml. For most recipes, US cups are used, so the conversion dividing by 240 ml is standard.
