how much is a cup in non freedom units?

[–] TheGreyGhost@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (11 children)

239.59 ml

Edit: switched out the original number for the correct number

Wow I had not even realised that this would actually be a well defined unit. I thought it was like "add a spoon of sugar" in recipes.

I just realized 59.15 ml is 1/4 of a cup while 1 cup is 239.59 ml

Annoyingly, the US has two different "cups"

US legal units puts it as 240ml

US Customary Units puts it at 236.59ml

Then there's Imperial cups, which is 284.13ml

Then there's the metric cup at 250ml
