Hey there, future gardener! 🌱 Today, we’re going to learn how to change a measurement from milliliters (ml) to fluid ounces (fl oz). This is super useful, especially when you’re using different tools for measuring water or other liquids for your plants.
Milliliters are small units of volume, and they’re often used for measuring liquids like water, juice, or fertilizer. On the other hand, fluid ounces are another way to measure liquids, and you might come across this measurement on some bottles or cans.
To convert 85 ml to fluid ounces, we can use the conversion factor that 1 fluid ounce is approximately 29.57 milliliters. This means to change ml to fl oz, we can use the following formula:
$$
\text{fluid ounces} = \frac{\text{milliliters}}{29.57}
$$
So if we plug in 85 ml, it looks like this:
$$
\text{fluid ounces} = \frac{85}{29.57} \approx 2.87
$$
This means 85 ml is about 2.87 fluid ounces. Isn’t that neat? Now you can have a better idea of how much liquid you’re using when you’re watering your plants or mixing up some delicious plant food.
Here are 7 examples of objects that are exactly equal to 85 ml:
- A small shot glass filled to the brim.
- A medium-sized syringe used for measuring liquids in gardening.
- About 3 tablespoons of liquid (since 1 tablespoon is roughly 15 ml).
- A small tube of glue often found in craft kits.
- A typical baby food jar (some brands hold about 85 ml).
- A standard coffee creamer cup.
- A mini vial used for essential oils.
Now you can confidently measure liquids for your gardening adventures! 🌿 Happy planting!
