What is the volume of one US cup in milliliters?

One US customary cup equals exactly 236.5882365 milliliters, commonly used for culinary measurements.

What does one cubic foot represent?

A cubic foot is the volume of a cube with sides one foot long, used in engineering, construction, and natural gas volume measurements.

Why might volume conversions between cups and cubic feet involve small decimal values?

Because the cubic foot is a much larger volume unit compared to the cup, conversions result in small decimal values.
