How much is 5 8 cup

Measurement equipment

• Use Australian Standard measuring cups and spoons. The plastic ones found in supermarkets and kitchenware shops are a perfect choice. Check the metal ones and overseas brands as most are not Australian standard and therefore not suitable for Australian recipes.
• Use cup and spoon measures for dry and solid ingredients and a measuring jug for liquid ingredients.
• When measuring dry ingredients, dip the cup or spoon measure into the food and lift out. Use the edge of a knife to scrape across the surface, removing excess ingredients so the surface is flat. When measuring liquids, place the jug onto a flat surface and bend down to check at eye level.

Pan measurements

To check your muffin pan’s capacity, for a mini muffin pan pour 1 1/2 tablespoons (30ml) water into 1 hole in your pan. If the water comes right to the top (with none left over) it is 1 1/2 tablespoon capacity. Use the same method to measure regular or Texas muffin pans.

If using a fan-forced oven, your cooking time may be a little quicker, so start checking your food a little earlier

For other conversions, I found this online conversion tool is very useful.

Even if you have all the right measuring tools, a lot of people can have difficulty using the right cooking measurements. Our cheat sheet below shows measuring equivalents for teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, pints, fluid ounces, and more. This page also includes the conversions for metric and U.S. systems of measurement.

Note: US cups are typically used as a kitchen measurement for both liquid ingredients and dry ingredients. Conversely, ounces are a weight measurement while fluid ounces are a volume measurement. To make things more confusing, although most recipes use cups for liquid measurements, most commercial products use fluid ounces.  

U.S. to Metric

One important thing to note with these cooking measurement conversions is that they directly translate imperial measurements to their metric counterparts. But, it's common in recipes using the metric system to use weight measurements for dry ingredients instead of volumetric ones. If you don't have a kitchen scale handy, you might have to be a bit clever with your measuring cups.
