Question
Hi I am having a hard time figuring out how to convert
1 cup of coffee that = 200 cc's and if a person drank 1/3 cup what would that equal to in cc's? also if a bowel of soup was  120 cc's what would 1/3 cup equal as well ??  

Answer
Hello Sharon,

Using your info that 1 cup = 200 cc
then 1/3 of a cup = (1/3)*200 cc = 66.67 cc

I gather you meant for the other question, what is 1/3 of
a bowl...yes?  If so, then (1/3)*120 = 40 cc

By the way, 1 cup is more like 236.6 cc.
