1 cup (US) ≈ 237 ml. Quick: half a cup ≈ 120 ml; quarter cup ≈ 60 ml.
For baking precision: 1 cup = 236.588 ml. Round to 237 for everyday use.
ml ÷ 236.6 = cups.

The US cup is defined as exactly 236.588 mL (8 US fl oz). It is the standard volume measure in American recipes and has been used since the late 19th century, when standardized cooking measures were promoted by domestic science educators like Fannie Farmer.
The US cup = 16 US tablespoons = 48 US teaspoons = 8 fl oz = ½ US pint. American baking relies heavily on cup measures for both liquid and dry ingredients, though professional bakers prefer weight for precision.
Interesting fact: Fannie Farmer's 1896 'Boston Cooking-School Cook Book' was the first to insist on level measurements (not heaped) using standardized cups and spoons, revolutionizing recipe writing and making cooking reproducible for home cooks.
The millilitre (mL) is one-thousandth of a litre and the SI unit of liquid volume most commonly used in cooking, medicine, and food labelling. 1 mL of water at 4°C weighs exactly 1 gram.
mL is universal in food nutrition labels, liquid medicine dosing, and scientific cooking (molecular gastronomy). 1 US teaspoon ≈ 5 mL; 1 tablespoon ≈ 15 mL; 1 US cup ≈ 237 mL; 1 US fl oz ≈ 30 mL.
Interesting fact: The 1 mL = 1 g (for water) relationship makes the metric system exceptionally convenient for baking: 100 mL of water = 100 g = the same cup-to-gram conversion for any liquid with water-like density.
The US cup chain: 1 cup = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp = 8 fl oz = 236.6 ml = ½ pint. Note: metric cups (Australia) = 250 ml; UK tablespoon = 17.76 ml vs US 14.79 ml. Always check which measurement system a recipe uses.
