Calculation working

Result = input × source factor ÷ target factor
0.5 × 240 ÷ 1 = 120 ml
Factors refer to the same base quantity. Rounding is applied to the display, not intermediate calculations.

Display: 10 significant digits. More digits do not make the original measurement more accurate.

Using this cooking converter

Scale liquid measuring-spoon and cup volumes using the explicitly listed kitchen conventions.

Cup is fixed at 240 mL here; teaspoon, tablespoon and fluid ounce use US liquid-volume definitions. Gram is a water-equivalent approximation of 1 g per mL.

Check before using the result

A fluid ounce measures volume and is different from a mass ounce. Check which unit the recipe specifies.
Flour, oil, sugar and packed ingredients have different densities. Do not use the water-equivalent gram option for an arbitrary ingredient; weigh it or use its measured density.

Definitions and method: NIST: unit conversion factors and rounding. Local conventions are stated above. Calculations use double-precision arithmetic; the display precision can be adjusted above.
