How Much Is 5.09 Ounces of Corn Syrup in Cups?
5.09 ounces of corn syrup equals 0.44 cups. Corn syrup has a density of 328g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.09 ounces of corn syrup
- Convert ounces to grams: 5.09 × 28.35 = 144.30g
- 1 cup of corn syrup = 328g
- 144.30g ÷ 328g/cup = 0.44 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sticky liquids like corn syrup are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring cup first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.
