How Much Is 10 Ounces of Cornmeal in Cups?
Converting 10 ounces of cornmeal to cups gives 1.89 cups. First convert to grams (10 oz = 283.50g), then divide by the density of cornmeal (150g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 10 ounces of cornmeal
- Convert ounces to grams: 10 × 28.35 = 283.50g
- 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
- 283.50g ÷ 150g/cup = 1.89 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Pour grains into the measuring cup and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.
