To convert [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] cup to milliliters, we need to know the conversion factor between cups and milliliters.
1 cup is equivalent to 240 milliliters.
Since we want to convert half a cup, we need to find half of 240 milliliters.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Start with the conversion factor:
[tex]\[ 1 \text{ cup} = 240 \text{ milliliters} \][/tex]
2. We need to find [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] cup in milliliters, which is also written as:
[tex]\[ \frac{1}{2} \text{ cup} \][/tex]
3. Calculate half of 240 milliliters:
[tex]\[ \frac{1}{2} \times 240 \text{ milliliters} \][/tex]
4. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[ 0.5 \times 240 = 120 \text{ milliliters} \][/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] cup is equal to 120 milliliters.
So, the correct option is:
d. 120 mL.
