<p>We can measure volume using units like ounces, cups, pints, quarts, or gallons. Different units are used to measure different quantities of liquid. An ounce (oz) is a small unit of measurement that we use for smaller quantities, like a shot of espresso or a small serving of juice. A cup is a larger unit of measurement, and we use it to measure larger quantities, like a serving of coffee or a portion of soup. Sometimes we need to convert ounces to cups to make it easier to understand quantities. In this topic, we will learn how to convert ounces to cups.</p>
