1. Definition of cc:
A “cc” stands for cubic centimeter, which is a unit of volume in the metric system. One cc is equal to one milliliter (mL).
1 cc = 1 mL.
2. Definition of ounce:
The term “ounce” commonly refers to a fluid ounce when measuring liquids.
In the U.S. customary system, 1 fluid ounce (oz) = 29.5735 milliliters (mL).
In the Imperial system (used in some countries like the UK), 1 fluid ounce = 28.4131 milliliters (mL).
3. Conversion details:
Since 1 cc = 1 mL:
In the U.S. system, 1 fluid ounce = 29.5735 cc.
In the Imperial system, 1 fluid ounce = 28.4131 cc.
4. Common approximation:
For ease of calculation, the U.S. fluid ounce is often rounded:
1 fluid ounce ≈ 30 cc.
This conversion is important in fields like medicine, where precise measurements are necessary, and cooking, where rounding is often acceptable.
