Keep extra decimal places while you work, then round once at the end. For everyday use, two to four decimal places is usually enough. Scientific, engineering, and regulated work may require a specified precision or reference standard.
Converting milliliters to the right cup convention
Milliliters are unambiguous metric volume units, but cup sizes vary by convention. This page reports US customary cups, where one cup is approximately 236.588 mL. A 240 mL legal cup or 250 mL metric cup will produce a different count.
- Use the cup standard named in the recipe or appliance manual.
- For rough kitchen work, 240 mL is close to one US cup.
- Choose an ingredient-aware tool when the target unit is grams.
