How Much Is 3.49 Ounces of Mayonnaise in Cups?
3.49 ounces of mayonnaise equals 0.45 cups. Mayonnaise has a density of 220g 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 3.49 ounces of mayonnaise
- Convert ounces to grams: 3.49 × 28.35 = 98.94g
- 1 cup of mayonnaise = 220g
- 98.94g ÷ 220g/cup = 0.45 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most accurate results, weigh mayonnaise on a kitchen scale. Thick spreads can vary by 5-10% depending on how firmly they are packed.
