A cake recipe calls for 472 ml of milk. You don't have a metric measuring cup at home, so you need to convert milliliters to cups.You know that 1 l...

Unit conversion is needed in this question. Let us gather the given information. Since 1 l is equal to 1.06 quart,

1 l = 1.06 quart

and 1 quart contains 4 cups.

Thus, 1 l = 1.06 quart = 1.06 quart x 4 cups/quart = 4 x 1.06 cups = 4.24 cups.

Thus, 1 l is equal to 4.24 cups. Since 1 l consists of 1000 ml,

1000 ml = 4.24 cups.

or, 1 cup = 1000 ml / 4.24 = 235.85 ml

Thus, 1 cup contains 235.85 ml of a liquid. 

In this case, for making the cake, we need 472 ml of milk. Since we have to use a cup, 

number of cups = volume needed / volume of a cup

= 472 ml / 235.85 ml/cup = 2 cups (approximately).

Thus, we can use 2 cups full of milk for the given cake recipe.

Hope this helps.
