Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 312g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 16.51 ounces of maple syrup
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 16.51 × 28.35 = 468.05g
  3. 1 cup of maple syrup = 312g
  4. 468.05g ÷ 312g/cup = 1.50 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?

A cup is a US customary unit of volume equal to 236.588 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces. It is the most common volume measurement in American recipes. One cup can be divided into 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 1.50 cups, based on maple syrup having a density of 312g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 312 (grams per cup). For 16.51 ounces: 16.51 × 28.3495 = 468.05g, then 468.05 ÷ 312 = 1.50 cups.
Weighing maple syrup on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. It is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring vessels. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the measuring cup first so it slides out cleanly.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of maple syrup changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 1.50 cups × 312g/cup = 468.05g, then 468.05g ÷ 28.3495 = 16.51 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
