Conversion FAQs
Can I use a different cup size for the conversion?
Yes, cup sizes vary around the world, with US, metric, and imperial cups differing in volume. The standard used here is the US cup of 237 ml. For other cup sizes, adjust the divisor accordingly, which affects the conversion accuracy.
Why is there a decimal in the conversion result?
Because 400 ml does not convert to an exact whole number of cups, the result is a decimal. It shows a fractional part indicating the remaining volume after whole cups are accounted for, giving a more precise measurement.
How precise is the 237 ml per cup standard?
The 237 ml standard is widely accepted in US cooking but may differ slightly in other regions. For most recipes, this level of precision is sufficient, but for scientific purposes, exact measurements might require more precise tools.
Can I convert other measurements using this method?
Yes, any volume in milliliters can be converted to cups by dividing by 237, provided you know the cup size you’re working with. Adjust the divisor if using a different cup measurement standard.
