Dry measure tends to be SLIGHTLY more than liquid measure, which in most recipes won't change things. But, if the recipe has to be increased to feed more people, then what started out as 1/8th cup can end up being 1/4 or 1/2, depending on the amounts used. You can prove this to yourself by filling both a liquid measuring cup (use a 2 cup measure) with exactly 1 cup of water. Then fill to the brim 1 cup dry measure and carefully pour the dry measure cup into the 2 cup measuring cup, get eye level and you will see the difference.
It is difficult to measure dry ingredients accurately in a liquid measuring cup because the design of the cup is optimized for measuring liquids, which do not fill the entire volume evenly. Dry ingredients tend to pile up and do not settle uniformly, leading to inaccurate measurements.

What ingredients should be packed to measure correctly?
When measuring dry ingredients like flour or sugar, use a dry measuring cup and level off the excess with a flat edge. For liquid ingredients like milk or oil, use a liquid measuring cup and check the measurement at eye level. It's important to pack brown sugar firmly into the measuring cup to ensure an accurate measurement.
How do you measure the dry and liquid ingredients?
Dry ingredients are typically measured using measuring cups or spoons, while liquid ingredients are measured using liquid measuring cups. For accuracy, it is important to level off the top of dry ingredients with a straight edge and to view liquid measurements at eye level on a flat surface.
Which is used to measure volume?
A graduated cylinder is commonly used to measure liquid volume, while a measuring cup is typically used for measuring dry ingredients like flour or sugar. Both can provide accurate volume measurements depending on the substance being measured.
What equipment do you use to accurately measure liquid?
To accurately measure liquid, you can use equipment such as graduated cylinders, beakers, measuring cups, or pipettes, depending on the volume of liquid you need to measure. Each of these tools has graduated markings that allow you to determine the exact volume of liquid accurately.
What is the difference between a dry cup and a liquid cup?
A dry cup is used to measure dry ingredients like flour or sugar, and the measurement is meant to be leveled off. A liquid cup is used to measure liquids like water or milk, and the measurement is read at eye level for accuracy. Dry cups and liquid cups may have different volume capacities due to the differences in how ingredients settle in each type of cup.
