Not accurately with a single conversion factor. Volume measures space while weight measures mass, and different ingredients have different densities. A cup of flour weighs about 120 grams while a cup of sugar weighs about 200 grams. For precise baking, use a kitchen scale and ingredient-specific conversions.
Fluid ounces measure volume (how much space a liquid takes up) while ounces measure weight (how heavy something is). For water, they happen to be nearly identical (1 fluid ounce of water weighs about 1 ounce). For other ingredients, they differ. This converter handles both types separately.
No. A US cup is 236.6 mL while a metric cup (used in Australia and some other countries) is 250 mL. This converter uses US cups. The difference is small enough for most recipes, but it can matter in precise baking.
