• One cup is typically equal to 236.59 milliliters.
• Tablespoons and cups are used to measure a variety of substances, including liquids, solids, and semi-solids. For example, tablespoons are often used to measure liquid ingredients in recipes, while cups are often used to measure dry ingredients in recipes.
