240 ml equals how many cups?

• A. 2 cups
• B. 0.5 cup
• C. 1 cup
• D. 3 cups

Answer: (C)

Converting between milliliters and cups is a common cooking measurement skill. In many contexts, one cup equals about 240 milliliters. So 240 ml is essentially one cup. Some exact definitions list 1 cup as 236.6 ml (8 fluid ounces), so 240 ml is very close and commonly treated as 1 cup in recipes. For comparison, 2 cups would be 480 ml, half a cup 120 ml, and 3 cups 720 ml.
