#30# cups

Explanation:

There are #8# fluid ounces for every cup, so #240# fluid ounces would equal #240/8# cups:

#8/1=240/c rarr c# represents the unknown number of cups

#(8*30=240)/(1*30=c)#

or

#8c=240#

#c=30#

It just depends on what 'c' is, and the relationship of 'c' to fluid ounces.

Explanation:

Any "conversion" factor is just the ratio of one measure to another. They do need to be in the same dimensions - you cannot 'convert' feet to gallons. So, for the given expression to be valid, 'c' must be SOME unit of volume, because fl.oz. is a measure of liquid volume.
Many conversion tables, lists, and even calculators are available online.
