What is a Milliliter?
A milliliter (ml) is a metric unit of measurement used to quantify volume. To put it simply, a milliliter is equivalent to 1/1000th of a liter. So if you have 1,000 ml, that’s the same as having 1 liter. It’s a straightforward conversion factor of 1,000.
What is an Ounce?
When we talk about ounces in this context, we’re specifically referring to fluid ounces (fl oz) used to measure the volume of liquids. It’s important to note that ounces can have different meanings depending on whether you’re measuring solids or liquids.
Now, let’s explore the different fluid ounce versions:
- For US citizens, the US customary fluid ounce (US fl oz) is commonly used.
- Food or nutrition labels in the US have a specific ml equivalent.
- In the UK, imperial fluid ounces (UK fl oz) are used, which have a slightly different ml equivalent.
