How to Find the Volume in a Different Unit
Let's imagine that you want to bake a cake, but the problem is that the recipe comes from a different part of the world. You are used to your standard units, such as cups or pints, but you have no idea how much is 550 ml of milk. What can you do? Put that value in the calculator next to the milliliters unit, and immediately you will get the answer in cups (2.32), pints (1.16), or even teaspoons (110) if you wish.
Example: Converting 550 ml
550 ml = 2.32 cups (US customary)
550 ml = 1.16 pints (US)
550 ml = 110 teaspoons
550 ml = 0.55 liters
550 ml = 0.145 gallons (US)
