Question

What is the conversion factor to convert cups to liters?

Answer 1

0.2365882365 L/cup

Explanation:

The conversion factor can be found from the size of a cup in relation to a gallon, and the size of a cubic inch in relation to a liter.

`1\,\text{cup}=8\,\text{fl oz}*\frac{231\,in^(3)}{128\,\text{fl oz}}*\left(\frac{0.254\,\text{dm}}{1\,\text{in}}\right)^(3)*(1\,L)/(1\,dm^(3))\\\\=(8\cdot 231\cdot 0.254^(3))/(128)\,L=0.2365882365\,L`
