How many cups are there in 240 milliliters?

Understanding this is about converting milliliters to cups. A common conversion is that 1 cup is about 240 milliliters. So 240 mL ÷ 240 mL per cup = 1 cup. In many contexts this is treated as exact, making 240 mL equal to 1 cup. If you used the more precise US standard of 1 cup = 236.6 mL, 240 mL would be a tiny bit more than a cup (about 1.01 cups), but for this problem the 240 mL approximation leads to 1 cup. The other options correspond to 120 mL (half a cup), 480 mL (two cups), and 960 mL (four cups), which don’t match 240 mL.
