Formula and Step-by-Step

fluid ounces × 28.25g/fl oz ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 16.65 fluid ounces of coconut milk
  2. 1 fluid ounce of coconut milk = 28.25g
  3. 16.65 × 28.25 = 470.36g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 470.36 ÷ 28.3495 = 16.59 oz

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.
