Cup (metric)

A metric cup is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is defined as 250 milliliters (mL). It is commonly used in cooking and food preparation to measure both liquid and dry ingredients.

Origin:

The metric cup is derived from the liter, which is the base unit of volume in the metric system. The metric cup was introduced to provide a convenient unit for measuring smaller volumes, particularly in cooking and food preparation. It is widely used in countries that have adopted the metric system.

Gallon (US)

The US gallon is a unit of volume in the U.S. customary system. It is defined as 231 cubic inches, which is approximately 3.785 liters or 4 quarts. The US gallon is primarily used in the United States to measure liquids such as fuel, beverages, and other fluids.

Origin:

The US gallon originated from the British gallon, which itself was derived from earlier definitions of the gallon in medieval England. The British gallon was based on the volume of eight pounds of water, but the US gallon, which was standardized in 1824, was redefined to be 231 cubic inches in volume. This definition was adopted to better align with the measurements used in the U.S. liquid measurement system. The US gallon is slightly smaller than the imperial gallon (used in the UK and other Commonwealth countries), which is defined as 4.54609 liters. Despite the global shift to the metric system, the US gallon remains widely used in the United States for measuring liquid volumes.
