There is approximately a 0.63 US cup in 150ml.
As for metric cups, there are 0.6 metric cups (cup sizes used in the UK, Newzealand, Canada, etc.) in 150ml.
Both cups and millimeters are volume measurements not weight measurements hence, conversions between the two are likely to be uniform across ingredients unlike if it is a volume-weight conversion
Conversions of ingredient quantities like the above are very common when cooking and especially baking.
For those that are not used to trying recipes written from other parts of the world, converting 500ml to cups can be intimidating but they will see that it is actually easy when I breakdown the process in a moment
What is a cup?
The cup used in this post is the standard measuring cup that has a volume of 237 ml/240 ml or 250 ml depending on its type.
A cup is a unit volume commonly used for cooking measurements and serving sizes/food labeling. These are different from the domestic cups we use as they are made according to definite standard sizes.
There are different types of cups around the world though 2 of those are the most commonly used ones around the world.
They are the US customary cup (with a volume of 237ml), the US legal cup (has a volume of 240ml), and the metric cup (has a volume of 250ml) used in countries such as the UK, New Zealand, Australia, commonwealth countries, etc.
Generally, a cup is equal to half a pint in US customary measurement or about 1/4 of a liter in metric measurements.
what is a milliliter?
A millimeter is much smaller than a cup. In fact, 1 ml = 0.00423 cups.
A milliliter is a metric system unit of volume which is used for liquid measurements. 1 ml = 1/1000 liter or 1 cubic centimeter.
How to convert 150 ml to cups
We will be converting 150ml to both the US customary cup size and the metric cup size.
For US cups, there are exactly 236.6ml which can be approximated to 237 in a cup
The formula is:
No. of cups = No. of millimeters/volume of the cup size
For US cups;
No. of cups = 150ml/237ml
=0.63 US cup
For metric cups;
No. of cups = 150ml/250ml
= 0.6 metric cup
If you are converting to a smaller cup size such as a 1/2 cup or a 1/3 cup, simply use the volume of the cup size accordingly.
Conversion table of cups to milliliters
Below is a conversion table for US cups and metric cups for common milliliter quantities
| US Cups | Milliliters (ml) | Metric Cups |
|---|---|---|
| 0.42 cups | 100ml | 0.4 cups |
| 0.85 cups | 200ml | 0.8 cups |
| 1.25 cups | 300ml | 1.2 cups |
| 1.7 cups | 400ml | 1.6 cups |
| 2.1 cups | 500ml | 2 cups |
| 2.5 cups | 600ml | 2.4 cups |
| 2.9 cups | 700ml | 2.8 cups |
| 3.3 cups | 800ml | 3.2 cups |
| 3.75 cups | 900ml | 3.6 cups |
| 4.2 cups | 1000ml | 4 cups |

conclusion
There are approximately 0.63 US cups and 0.6 metric cups in 150ml. Note that, for the conversion of ml to cups, the density of the ingredient measured does not matter during a volume-to-volume conversion.
Therefore, most ingredients converted from milliliters to volumes will be roughly 2 cups in the US, and metric cups
For example, 500ml of milk = 2 cups of water approximately just like 500ml of water is equal to 2 cups approximately.
