Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.25 cups of corn syrup
- 1 cup of corn syrup = 328g
- 0.25 × 328 = 82g
- Convert grams to pounds: 82 ÷ 453.592 = 0.18 lb
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.
