Understanding Cups as a Unit of Measurement

Cups are a unit of measurement for volume. They are used to measure the amount of liquid or solid that can fit in a container with a specific shape and size.

In the United States, cups are defined as follows:

* 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces (fl oz)
* 1 fl oz = 29.6 milliliters (mL)

So, if you have a container that holds 8 fl oz of liquid, it is equal to 1 cup. Similarly, if you have a container that holds 29.6 mL of liquid, it is also equal to 1 cup.

Cups are commonly used in cooking and baking to measure ingredients like flour, sugar, milk, and water. They are also used in scientific applications to measure the volume of liquids and solids.
