How do you calculate 15 percent by volume of two cups dry measure?

Answer 1

The words "dry measure" complicate and confound the question somewhat. There is no such thing as a dry cup. But there is a dry pint and a liquid pint. And since you said TWO cups dry measure, that implies a dry pint. One dry pint is equal to about 18.6 fluid ounces. (A liquid pint [US] is equal to 16 fluid ounces.) So, multiply 18.6 by 0.15 (15 percent) to get 2.79 ounces, or slightly more than two and three-quarters ounces. 15 percent of 16 is 2.4 ounces.

Answer 2

To calculate 15% by volume of two cups dry measure, you would first convert the volume to a common unit (such as ounces) if needed. Then, calculate 15% of the total volume by multiplying it by 0.15. Finally, convert the result back to the original unit of measurement (cups) if necessary.
