Hey there, future potter! 🌟 Let’s dive into some cool measurements that will help you with your pottery projects.
When we talk about liquids, we often use different units to measure how much we have. One common unit is a cup, which you might use to mix up some clay slip or glaze. But sometimes, we need to change the cup measurement into a different unit called milliliters (mL). Isn’t that neat?
Now, here’s the important part: 0.125 cups is a fancy way to say one-eighth (or 1/8) of a cup. In milliliters, this is equal to 30 milliliters (mL). We can show this relationship with the equation:
$$
0.125 \text{ cups} = 30 \text{ mL}
$$
This means that if you find a container that holds 30 mL of liquid, it is just the right amount to fill up one-eighth of a cup!
So, when you’re working with pottery, knowing these measurements can help you create the perfect textures and colors. Here are 7 objects that hold exactly 30 mL:
- A small medicine cup
- A shot glass
- A tablespoon (filled with liquid)
- A tiny measuring cup for spices
- A sample vial from a lab
- A small baking ramekin
- A small plastic bottle (the mini ones for travel)
Now you’re all set to mix and measure like a pro! Happy potting! 🎨🥳
