Switching between metric cups and US cups is a fixed volume ratio that applies to any ingredient, since one US cup is 240 ml and one metric cup is 250 ml. The volume converter at the link below covers cups, US cups, millilitres, tablespoons and teaspoons in both directions.

What is the difference between a metric cup and a US cup?

The guide linked below explains when the difference matters and how to switch between the two so a recipe lands right whichever cup you own.
