Page 7: Cooking Unit Conversions
Note: It is incorrect to convert volumes to weights and vice versa (weights vary, e.g., a cup of flour weighs less than a Cup of water); thus, the calculator will not allow you to do so. The calculator will display the word “Sorry” if this occurs. - Page 8 Convert 1-1/2 tsp. to tbsp.: KEYSTROKE 1 1 / 2 t c T 0-1/2 Convert 8 fl. oz. to Cups: KEYSTROKE 8 f c C Convert 5-1/2 Quarts to Gallons: KEYSTROKE 5 1 / 2 c 8 (Quart) 5-1/2 c 7 (gal) Convert 32 dry oz.
