Cups: A Unit of Volume

Cups are a unit of volume that are used to measure liquids, such as water, milk, oil, vinegar, etc. They are also used to measure some dry ingredients, such as sugar, flour, rice, etc. They are different from tablespoons and teaspoons, which are smaller units of volume. They are also different from quarts and gallons, which are larger units of volume. They are also different from barrel of oil equivalent (BOE), which is a unit of energy based on the approximate energy released by burning one barrel of crude oil.

How to Convert Cups

To convert cups to other units of volume, one can use the following formulas:

• To convert cups to milliliters: multiply by 250
• To convert cups to fluid ounces: multiply by 8.45
• To convert cups to tablespoons: multiply by 16
• To convert cups to quarts: multiply by 0.25
• To convert cups to gallons: multiply by 0.0625
• To convert cups to BOE: divide by 1,200

Liters - A Unit of Volume

One liter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters, 0.001 cubic meters, or 1 cubic decimeter.

How to Convert Liters

To convert liters to other units of volume, you need to multiply or divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

• To convert liters to cubic centimeters, multiply by 1000.
  • Example: 2 L x 1000 = 2000 cm3
• To convert liters to cubic meters, multiply by 0.001.
  • Example: 2 L x 0.001 = 0.002 m3
• To convert liters to cubic decimeters, multiply by 1.
  • Example: 2 L x 1 = 2 dm3
• To convert liters to gallons (US liquid), multiply by 0.264.
  • Example: 2 L x 0.264 = 0.528 gal
• To convert liters to bushels (US), multiply by 0.037.
  • Example: 2 L x 0.037 = 0.074 bu
• To convert liters to barrels (oil), multiply by 0.0063.
  • Example: 2 L x 0.0063 = 0.0126 bbl

To convert other units of volume to liters, you need to divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

• To convert cubic centimeters to liters, divide by 1000.
  • Example: 2000 cm3 / 1000 = 2 L
• To convert cubic meters to liters, divide by 0.001.
  • Example: 0.002 m3 / 0.001 = 2 L
• To convert cubic decimeters to liters, divide by 1.
  • Example: 2 dm3 / 1 = 2 L
• To convert gallons (US liquid) to liters, divide by 0.264.
  • Example: 0.528 gal / 0.264 = 2 L
• To convert bushels (US) to liters, divide by 0.037.
  • Example: 0.074 bu / 0.037 = 2 L
• To convert barrels (oil) to liters, divide by 0.0063.
  • Example: 0.0126 bbl / 0.0063 = 2 L
