How Much Is 240 Milliliters of Water in Ounces?
240 milliliters of water equals 8.47 oz. Water has a density of 236.59g per cup (1g per milliliter), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 240 milliliters of honey would be 12.17 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 240 milliliters of water
- 1 milliliter of water = 1g
- 240 × 1 = 240.00g
- Convert grams to ounces: 240.00 ÷ 28.3495 = 8.47 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

Understanding the Units
What is a Milliliter?
Milliliters measure volume and are used worldwide for cooking and baking. For water at room temperature, 1 ml weighs approximately 1 gram, but this relationship does not hold for other ingredients.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
