Here's how you can convert 1 cup to kaffekoppar:

First, you need to know that 1 US cup is equivalent to approximately 240 milliliters.

1. Determine the volume in milliliters for 1 US cup:

2. If 1 kaffekopp is approximately 150 ml:

   • Divide the volume of 1 cup by the volume of 1 kaffekopp to find the equivalent number of kaffekoppar.
   • $\text{Number of kaffekoppar} = \frac{240 \text{ ml}}{150 \text{ ml/kaffekopp}}$

   Using the numbers:
