Converting between milliliters (mL) and fluid ounces (fl oz) comes up all the time, whether you’re cooking, doing science experiments, or just trying to figure out how much liquid is in something.
So, how much is 35ml to oz? Well, 35 milliliters is about 1.18 fluid ounces.
This article will walk you through the conversion factor, how to calculate it, and some things to keep in mind.
Understanding Milliliters and Fluid Ounces
What is a Milliliter (mL)?
A milliliter is a unit of volume. Think of it as a tiny amount of liquid. One milliliter is the same as one cubic centimeter (cc), and it takes 1,000 milliliters to make a liter. Milliliters belong to the metric system, which is used worldwide for scientific and standard measurements.
What is a Fluid Ounce (fl oz)?
A fluid ounce is a unit of volume used mainly in the United States. One fluid ounce is about 29.5735 milliliters. It’s worth noting there’s a slight difference between U.S. fluid ounces and U.K. fluid ounces, but for everyday purposes, the U.S. measurement is usually what’s used.
The secret to converting mL to fl oz
The key to converting between milliliters and fluid ounces is knowing the conversion factor. It’s a simple number that tells you how many fluid ounces are in a single milliliter.
That number is: 1 ml = 0.033814 fl oz.
So, to convert milliliters to fluid ounces, you can use the following formula:
Fluid ounces = Milliliters × 0.033814
How to convert 35 ml to fluid ounces
To convert 35 ml to fluid ounces, you can multiply 35 ml by the conversion factor of 0.033814 fl oz/ml:
35 ml 0.033814 fl oz/ml = 1.18349 fl oz
For practical purposes, you can round this to 1.18 fl oz. Keep in mind that rounding introduces a slight approximation.
Why use fluid ounces?
While 35 ml is a precise measurement, fluid ounces might be more convenient in some cases. For small volumes like this, fluid ounces can be more readable on many measuring devices.
Think about it this way: a liter is way too big for measuring 35 ml, but a fluid ounce is just right.
Final Thoughts
To convert milliliters to fluid ounces, you multiply by the conversion factor of 0.033814. Thirty-five milliliters is approximately 1.18 fluid ounces.
Understanding unit conversions is vital in cooking, medicine, manufacturing, and many other areas of life. Now you know how to convert from milliliters to ounces!
