Liquids are measured using tools called measuring cups.
Measuring cups help us to use the right amount of liquid.
As you fill the measuring cup with liquid, you need to look at which number the liquid is filled to, to determine how much liquid you have.
A measuring cup can hold more than 1 "cup" of liquid (a cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces, see US Standard Volume to learn more).
This measuring cup holds up to 4 cups of liquid. If the liquid goes all the way to the 3, then there are 3 cups of liquid. Between the numbers, you would find fractions of a cup.
2 cups of a liquid is the same thing as 1 pint. So this measuring cup also holds 2 pints (4 cups equals 2 pints).
