How Much Is 142 Cups of Cornmeal in Ounces?
142 cups of cornmeal equals 751.34 oz. Cornmeal has a density of 150g per cup (150g per cup), which means it's moderate weight compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 142 cups of honey would be 1,703.03 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 142 cups of cornmeal
- 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
- 142 × 150 = 21,300g
- Convert grams to ounces: 21,300 ÷ 28.3495 = 751.34 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Uncooked and cooked grains have completely different weights per cup. These conversions are for uncooked/dry grains unless specified otherwise.

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?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
