How Much Is 5.77 Ounces of Coconut Oil in Cups?
5.77 ounces of coconut oil equals 0.75 cups. That's 163.58g, and Coconut oil has a density of 218g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.77 ounces of coconut oil
- Convert ounces to grams: 5.77 × 28.35 = 163.58g
- 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g
- 163.58g ÷ 218g/cup = 0.75 cups
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 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.
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
