How Much Is 0.88 Cups of Coconut Oil in Ounces?
0.88 cups of coconut oil equals 6.77 oz. Coconut oil has a density of 218g per cup (218g per cup), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 0.88 cups of all-purpose flour would be 3.89 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.88 cups of coconut oil
- 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g
- 0.88 × 218 = 191.84g
- Convert grams to ounces: 191.84 ÷ 28.3495 = 6.77 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
