Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.3 liters of molasses
- 1 liter of molasses = 1,437.10g
- 0.3 × 1,437.10 = 431.13g
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.
