My milk's serving size says 1 cup. Can I weigh this on a scale? Is that still 8oz?

Gotta learn somewhere.

Liquids in a volumetric measuring cup. Pyrex is good.

It's ok. We're your school system now. haha

1 cup is 8 fluid ounces, which is a measurement of volume. It does not weigh 8 ounces on a scale. That is a measurement of weight. The weight of 8 fluid ounces of a liquid will be unique to that liquid and will depend on the density of the liquid.

This. If you don't know the difference between volume and mass i got some bad news OP

if it unique to that liquid then wouldnt a scale still be used to measure it? sure different liquids will give more or less per 8oz but you can still use a scale.

i.e i used to measure my liquids with my shaker before i bought my scale and even now 8 fl oz is still the same measurement when i weighted it.

With all the due respect, I'm actually shocked that you have got an answer to your question.

That's the sort of thing that I would use google for (If I ever get in your situation)

If you knew the exact weight of 8 fl oz of the desired liquid, then I suppose you could use a scale to determine the volume of the liquid. But it's not a very practical method. Measuring cups are inexpensive and easy to use. Nutritional facts for liquids are based on volume, as well, so when counting macros and calories, I would just measure the volume.

Depends. If you are using a two pan balance scale use the 8oz lead weights or the 1/2 lb stone weight. Sometimes when using the 226 gram iron the fluid oz are either more or less. So this answer could be right or wrong.

You'd be surprised, questions regarding weight and volume are frequently asked in this section lol. It's bad enough people don't know the basics of life, but even worse they would spend the time to post on a forum when Google can answer it in 5 seconds.
