The culinary industry does not, however, have a set size requirement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"8-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A <strong>measuring cup<\/strong> is of two types, namely, liquid and dry measuring cup. The former helps measure the volume of liquid-based things like water, milk, oil, etc., with the help of scale markings. The latter helps measure the quantity of powdered materials like sugar, baking soda, flour, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Knowing how to measure a cup is imperative as it helps in measuring several things in the kitchen for cooking and outside the kitchen as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"9-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>1. <strong>Lilly wants to bake a cake. She knows she will have to add 1 cup of sugar, but she only has tablespoons available. How many tablespoons of sugar equal 1 cup?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We know that 1 cup $= 16$ tablespoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, Lilly will have to pour in the sugar 16 times using the tablespoons to equal 1 cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>2. How many teaspoons will make <\/strong>$\\frac{3}{4}$<strong> cups of oil?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We know that $\\frac{3}{4}$ cups $= 36$ teaspoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, Chris will need to pour in 36 teaspoons of oil to equal $\\frac{3}{4}$ cups of oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>3. How to fill a 2 liter water bottle using a measuring cup?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">1 cup $= 250\\; \\text{ml}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">2 cups $= 500\\; \\text{ml}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, 4 cups $= 1000\\; \\text{ml} = 1\\; \\text{liter}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Thus, to fill a 2 liter bottle, we will need to pour 8 cups of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>4. A recipe requires 1 cup oil. What\u2019s the quantity of oil in fluid ounces?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">1 cup equals 8 fluid ounces. So, the recipe requires 8 fluid ounces of oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>5. Nick needs to use <\/strong>$\\frac{1}{4}$ <strong>cup of<\/strong> <strong>washing powder to do his laundry. Which type will he use to measure its quantity: a dry or liquid measuring cup? How should he pour the powder using tablespoons?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Nick will use a dry measuring cup as this type of cup is usually used for adding or pouring powdery substances like sugar, baking soda, washing powder, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Also, $\\frac{1}{4}$ cup $= 4$ tablespoons. So, he will need to pour 4 tablespoons of powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"10-practice-problems\">Practice Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><div class=\"spq_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"display:none;\">Measuring Cups - Definition with Examples<\/h2><p style=\"display:none;\">Attend this quiz & Test your knowledge.<\/p><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"1\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">1<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">A recipe needs 24 tablespoons of flour.
