    To calculate the volume, we use the data given above. For this problem we are asked to convert cups to mL.

    volume = (2 cups) 225 mL / 1 cup = 450 mL

    The student's error in converting is that she divide the conversion factor instead of multiplying it, wrote the conversion factor incorrectly and the units of his final answer is wrong.
