How Much Is 10 Fluid Ounces of Molasses in Ounces?
10 fluid ounces of molasses weighs 14.99 oz. This is based on molasses having a density of 340g per cup. Because fluid ounces measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 10 fluid ounces.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 10 fluid ounces of molasses
- 1 fluid ounce of molasses = 42.5g
- 10 × 42.5 = 425g
- Convert grams to ounces: 425 ÷ 28.3495 = 14.99 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sticky liquids like molasses are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring cup first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.
