How many cups is 12 oz? 

Before answering that question, we need to know what is a cup? A cup is a small unit for measuring liquid. A cup is eight fluid ounces. It's not very big, and some examples are the amount of milk that you put in your cereal, or if you get yourself a glass of water, you usually drink about a cup. It's not a lot.

12 fl oz = 12/8 cups or, 12 fl oz = 1 4/8 cups or, 12 fl oz = 1 1/2 cups
