Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 159.98 ounces of margarine
- Convert ounces to grams: 159.98 × 28.35 = 4,535.36g
- 1 cup of margarine = 227g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Margarine in stick form is easiest to measure using the wrapper markings, just like butter. One US stick = 113g = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons.

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?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
