Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.21 cups of corn syrup
- 1 cup of corn syrup = 328g
- 0.21 × 328 = 68.88g
- Convert grams to pounds: 68.88 ÷ 453.592 = 0.15 lb
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
