Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 145g/cup ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Convert grams to ounces: 145 ÷ 28.3495 = 5.11 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
