1/8 tsp = ½ ml

¼ tsp = 1 ml

½ tsp = 3 ml

1 tsp = 5 ml

¼ tbsp = 4 ml

½ tbsp = 8 ml

1 tbsp = 15 ml

1/8 cup = 35 ml = 1 oz

¼ cup = 60 ml = 2 oz

1/3 cup = 85 ml

3/8 cup = 95 ml = 3 oz

½ cup = 125 ml = 4 oz

5/8 cup = 160 ml = 5 oz

2/3 cup = 170 ml

¾ cup = 180 ml = 6 oz

7/8 cup = 220 ml = 7 oz

1 cup = 250 ml = 8 oz

For liquids (water, milk, etc.), volume and weight are generally equal. For example: 50 ml of water = 50 g of water, 1 liter of milk = 1 kg

Solid measures

½ oz = 15 g

1 oz = 30 g

1/8 lb = 55 g = 2 oz

¼ lb = 115 g = 4 oz

1/3 lb = 150 g

3/8 lb = 170 g

½ lb = 225 g

5/8 lb = 285 g

2/3 lb = 310 g

3/3 lb = 340 g

7/8 lb = 400 g

1 lb = 450 g = 16 oz

2.2 lb = 1 kg

Principles to follow for certain foods

For example :

Flour: 1 cup = 115 g - 1 tbsp = 15 g

Sugar: 1 cup = 225 g - 1 tbsp = 15 g

Cocoa: 1 cup = 110 g - 1 tbsp = 8 g

Sliced ​​almonds: 1 cup = 80 g - 1 tbsp = 10 g

Grated coconut: 1 cup = 75 g - 1 tbsp = 5 g
