How to measure
The Equipment:
Graduated Measuring Cups
Measuring cups that resemble small pots. They are usually made of plastic or metal and come in sets of four or five (1 cup, 3/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, and 1/4 cup). They are excellent for measuring dry ingredients because they can easily be leveled off.
Liquid Measuring Cups
Measuring cups that look like little pitchers with a lip/spout to aid in pouring. They are widely available in 1, 2, 4, and 8-cup measures. They come in glass or plastic, with the amounts indicated in cups, ounces, and milliliters. Pyrex is a good brand. The larger measures can double as mixing bowls.
Measuring Spoons
Come in sets of four or five (1 tablespoon, 1 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, 1/4 teaspoon and sometimes 1/8 teaspoon).
Ingredients
Butter
Each 1/4 pound stick of margarine or butter measures 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons. In the United States, the wrapping usually has tablespoons and teaspoons clearly marked. One stick usually equals 1/2 cup. If it has not been packed that way, pack margarine or butter into measuring spoon or measuring cup and level off to measure.
Sugar
Measuring Sugar
Most sugar can be measured in a graduated measuring cup. Simply spoon it in and level off with the straight edge of a knife. Most recipes usually call for certain amounts of packed brown sugar. To measure packed brown sugar, pack sugar down lightly with back of spoon, then level off.
Measuring Flour
In most recipes, flour is supposed to be measured straight from the canister or package (the flour needs to be airy, if it seems compact, stir it in the container before measuring it). NEVER pack flour down into the measuring cup or tap it excessively. Lightly spoon flour into graduated measuring cup, and level off with straight edge of knife.
It is important to measure flour correctly in low-fat bread making because when we reduce the fat (which tenderizes it), we don't want to dramatically increase the flour (which toughens it).

If your feet are shaped like cubes, then the only way to convert both of them into dry quarts is to determine the number of wet quarts it would require to fill up the Grand Canyon while facing North, on a hot day with an average temperature of 99°, then add that amount to the number of dry cubes it takes to fill up your shoebox and divide by two

Your dry measure table incorrectly refers to "ounces" in 3 of the boxes as "liquid ounces" instead of simply "ounces" or "dry ounces." A dry ounce is 28.4g, while a liquid ounce is 29.6g (or rounded to 30mL).
Dry and Liquid measures are not interchangable, no matter what you have read or heard. Every High School Chemestry student learns this in the first quarter of class. Liquid if based on material volume, while dry weight is based upon density of material. And no, there is no such thing as a generalized chart that will keep you from doing the basic math to figure it out.
