Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 85.05 milliliters of water
- 1 milliliter of water = 1g
- 85.05 × 1 = 85.05g
- Convert grams to ounces: 85.05 ÷ 28.3495 = 3.00 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

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?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
