36 oz in cups?

How many cups is 36 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. If you were trying to fill something large with a cup, it would take you a very long time to do it.

We already learned that a cup is 8 fl oz. Then, how many cups are there in 36 fl oz?

If, 1 cup = 8 fl oz,  then, 1 fl oz = 1/8 cups.

Then, for 36 fl oz, by multiplying both sides by 36, 

36 fl oz = 36/8 cups or, 36 fl oz = 4 4/8 cups or, 36 fl oz = 4 1/2 cups

In other words, 36 fl oz = 4.5 cups

How much is 36 oz in ml?

36 fl oz = 4.5 cups = 1064.65 ml

How much is 36 oz of water? 

Water is a type of fluid. Therefore, what we derived earlier for fluid ounces is true for water.

i.e. 36 oz (water) = 4.5 cups

How many cups is 36 oz dry? 

Earlier, we derived a formula for converting fluid ounces to cups, which is 36 fl oz = 4.5 cups.

Though all the dry, wet measuring calculations are correlated, there is a different formula for each one. Dry measurements take the weight and liquid measurements take volume.

Read the difference between a fluid ounce and a weight ounce if you still find it difficult to grasp the idea.

To measure the dry ingredients in a recipe, such as flour, sugar, chocolate chips, nuts, or seeds you have to use a dry measuring cup.

Based on your requirement or the choice of your ingredient the ounce value may change when it comes to oz to cup converter.

As an example, in the case of liquid measuring, a cup of liquid is equal to 8 fluid ounces. But when you measure a dry thing, let's take flour, a cup of dry flour weighs 4.5 ounces, not 8 ounces.

You have to remember dry measuring cups are for flour, nuts, berries, and similar dry ingredients, and liquid measuring cups are designed for yogurt, water, cooking oil, and similar liquid ingredients.
