Hey there, young potter! Today, we are going to learn how to change milliliters (mL) into fluid ounces (fl oz). This is really important, especially when you’re mixing your clay or measuring out your glaze!

Understanding the Measurement
- Milliliters are a small unit of measurement, often used in cooking or mixing. It’s kind of like a tiny cup!
- Fluid ounces are a little bigger than milliliters and are commonly used in the USA to measure liquids.
In fact, to convert milliliters to fluid ounces, we can use this special equation:
$$ \text{fluid ounces} = \text{milliliters} \times 0.033814 $$
So, if we have 45 milliliters and we want to find out how many fluid ounces that is, we can do the math:
$$ \text{fluid ounces} = 45 \, \text{mL} \times 0.033814 \approx 1.5232 \, \text{fl oz} $$
Now, that means 45 mL is about 1.52 fluid ounces!
Examples of Objects
To help you visualize just how exactly equal this measurement is, here are seven objects that can hold about 45 milliliters or 1.52 fluid ounces:
- A small medicine cup.
- A shot glass (for measuring spirits).
- A tablespoon (a tad less than three tablespoons).
- A standard cream or milk container at a café.
- A small jar of baby food.
- A travel-size shampoo bottle.
- A tiny mixing cup you might use for your pottery glazes.
Now you see how milliliters and fluid ounces work! Remember, understanding these measurements can help you create your pottery masterpieces with the perfect mixtures!
