Question
A
**How to Convert Milliliters to Cups**

**Question:**
A cake recipe calls for 230.0 mL of buttermilk. How many cups is this?

**Solution Path:**
To convert milliliters (mL) to cups, you need to use a conversion factor that relates these two units. 

**Step-by-Step Guide:**

1. **Starting Amount:**
   - Enter the quantity in milliliters: **230.0 mL**

2. **Conversion Factor Integration:**
   - Identify the conversion factor from mL to cups. Given that 1 cup is approximately 240 mL, the conversion factor is:
     \[ \text{1 cup} = \text{240 mL} \] 
   - Therefore, to convert mL to cups, you can use the following formula:
     \[ \text{Number of cups} = \frac{\text{mL}}{\text{240}} \]
   
3. **Calculate the Conversion:**
   - Divide the quantity in milliliters by the conversion factor (240):
     \[ \text{Number of cups} = \frac{230.0}{240} \approx 0.958 \text{ cups} \]

**Interactive Tool:**
The interactive question setup shows several fields and buttons for input and calculation. Here is a detailed breakdown of each part:

- **Left Section (Starting Amount Box):**
   - You input the starting amount of buttermilk here (e.g., 230.0 mL).

- **Middle Section (Conversion Factor Box):**
   - Individuals input the conversion factor that can convert mL to another unit.

   The detailed blue buttons show various multiplication values, potentially related to different units:
   - \(9.722 \times 10^5\), \(8.706 \times 10^5\), \(6.076 \times 10^4\), etc.

   Additional numbers and constants like:
   - 10, 4, 1, 0.06076, 0.9722, 100, 1000, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001.

- **Bottom Section (Unit Buttons):**
   - Red Buttons for unit selection:
     - "quart," "mL," "L," "cups."

- **Answer and Reset:**
   - A button to display the calculated answer
