How Much Is 1.25 Cups of Cornmeal in Ounces?
1.25 cups of cornmeal weighs 6.61 oz. This is based on cornmeal having a density of 150g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1.25 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.25 cups of cornmeal
- 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
- 1.25 × 150 = 187.5g
- Convert grams to ounces: 187.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 6.61 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
