A “fifth” of alcohol refers to a bottle containing 750 milliliters (ml), a common size for liquor bottles. To determine how many cups are in a fifth, we can do the conversion:
Conversion Factors:
- 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces (fl oz)
- 1 fluid ounce = 29.5735 milliliters (ml)
- 750 ml = 750 ÷ 29.5735 ≈ 25.36 fl oz
Calculating Cups:
25.36fl oz÷8fl oz/cup-3.17cups
Final Answer: A fifth of alcohol contains approximately 3.17 cups.
