How Much Is 272 Grams of Molasses in Fluid Ounces?
272 grams of molasses equals 6.40 fl oz. Molasses has a density of 340g per cup. Because grams measure weight and fluid ounces measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 272 grams of molasses
- 1 cup of molasses = 340g
- 272g ÷ 340g/cup = 0.8 cups × 8 = 6.40 fluid ounces
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.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
What is a Fluid Ounce?
A US fluid ounce (fl oz) is a unit of volume equal to 29.574 milliliters or 1/8 of a cup. It measures liquid volume and should not be confused with the ounce (oz), which measures weight.
