Common mistakes
- Dividing instead of multiplying. A milliliter is smaller than a cup, so the number of milliliters must come out larger: 0.5 cups = 118.294 ml.
- Mixing fluid ounces with weight ounces. A fluid ounce is a volume (29.57 ml); an ounce on a kitchen scale is a weight (28.35 g). A cup of flour is 8 fl oz by volume but only about 4.25 oz by weight.
