Answer
Using US fluid ounces: \[ 600\ \text{mL} \approx 20.29\ \text{US fl oz}. \]
Conversion factor (mL to US fluid ounces)
The standard relationship for volume is: \[ 1\ \text{US fl oz} = 29.5735295625\ \text{mL}. \] Equivalently, \[ 1\ \text{mL} \approx 0.0338140227\ \text{US fl oz}. \]
Step-by-step: convert 600 mL to oz
Step 1: Set up dimensional analysis.
\[ 600\ \text{mL}\times\frac{1\ \text{US fl oz}}{29.5735295625\ \text{mL}} \] The unit “mL” cancels, leaving US fluid ounces.
Step 2: Compute the quotient.
\[ 600 \div 29.5735295625 \approx 20.2884\ldots \] \[ 600\ \text{mL} \approx 20.2884\ \text{US fl oz}. \]
Step 3: Round to a practical precision.
\[ 20.2884\ \text{US fl oz} \approx 20.29\ \text{US fl oz}. \] For quick estimation, \(600\ \text{mL}\) is a little over \(20\ \text{oz}\).

Common clarification: fluid ounces vs ounces by mass
The unit “oz” in 600 mL to oz is interpreted as fluid ounces (a volume unit). This is different from ounces (oz) used for mass. Converting a liquid’s volume to mass ounces requires the liquid’s density, which is not determined from volume alone.
