Aryn 130 cc. is ? |

Hi Aryn, A cubic centimeter (cc) is a little smaller that a sugar cube. There are 1,000 cc's in a litre so a cubic centimeter is a milliliter since milli- is the metric prefix to indicate one one-thousandth. Thus
In Canada where I am we use both the metric system and the American system of weights and measures. I went and got my measuring cup I use for baking. It has "cup/oz/pint" on one side and "litre/ml" on the other. 150ml on one side corresponds to almost 5oz on the other. Lets do it more carefully. My dictionary says
Thus
There are 4 quarts in a gallon so
There are 32 ounces in a quart so
Hence 130 cc is about 4.4 oz. Penny |
