Converting Between Measurement Systems - Examples

$$\text{Baking Day}$$

===

Today (May 17) is World Baking Day! You're making your grandma's famous cookie recipe!

Sadly though it's in metric units so you need to convert. The recipe calls for:

• 180 mL of sugar
• 240 mL of melted butter
• 5 mL of vanilla
• 30 mL of toenail clippings
• 535 mL of flour
• 5 mL of baking soda
• 2.5 mL of salt
• 475 mL of chocolate chips

Looking on the internet you find a nifty conversion chart. $$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{Quantity}&\text{Metric Equivalent}\\ \hline 1 \text{ teaspoon}&5\text{ mL}\\ 1 \text{ tablespoon}&15\text{ mL}\\ 1/8 \text{ cup}&30\text{ mL}\\ 1/4 \text{ cup}&60\text{ mL}\\ 1/3 \text{ cup}&80\text{ mL}\\ 1/2 \text{ cup}&120\text{ mL}\\ 2/3 \text{ cup}&160\text{ mL}\\ 3/4 \text{ cup}&180\text{ mL}\\ 1 \text{ cup}&240\text{ mL}\\ 1\ 1/2\text{ cups}&350\text{ mL}\\ 2 \text{ cups}&475\text{ mL}\\ 3 \text{ cups}&700\text{ mL}\\ 4 \text{ cups}&950\text{ mL}\\ \hline \end{array}$$
