Measuring cups aren't graduated in 10ths. They're split into 8 liquid ounces. 0.2 cups = 1.6 oz.
(My wife, who is from Finland, thinks the measuring system is insane. At least now I'm good at estimating conversion from F to C.)
- macintux 8y agoYour wife is correct. Imperial measurements are absolutely ludicrous.
- chrisdhoover 8y agoThe US uses customary measures. The UK used Imperial.

- blattimwind 8y ago+- 20 % error, insignificant for the accuracies used with either system.
- pandler 8y agoVolume is just base 2 instead of base 10. It’s probably the most sane of the imperial measurements.

- jdblair 8y agoMy liquid measuring cups are glass and have a customary scale graduated in liquid ounces, not 10ths of a cup. They also have metric measures on the other side.
