240 milliliters equals how many cups?

240 milliliters equals how many cups?

• A. 1 cup
• B. 2 cups
• C. 0.5 cup
• D. 1.5 cups

Answer: (A)

In US cooking measurements, 1 cup is defined as 240 milliliters. So 240 mL is exactly 1 cup. This is found by dividing the volume in milliliters by the milliliters per cup: 240 ÷ 240 = 1. For context, 1 cup is also 8 fluid ounces, and 8 × 29.57 mL ≈ 236.6 mL, which is close to 240 mL, and is often rounded to 240 mL in practice. The other amounts correspond to 120 mL (half cup), 480 mL (two cups), and 360 mL (one and a half cups).
