How Much Is 16.01 Ounces of Margarine in Cups?
16.01 ounces of margarine equals 2.00 cups. That's 453.88g, and Margarine has a density of 227g 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 16.01 ounces of margarine
- Convert ounces to grams: 16.01 × 28.35 = 453.88g
- 1 cup of margarine = 227g
- 453.88g ÷ 227g/cup = 2.00 cups
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?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
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.
