How Much Is 8 Ounces of Soy Sauce in Cups?
8 ounces of soy sauce equals 0.89 cups. That's 226.80g, and Soy sauce has a density of 255g 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 8 ounces of soy sauce
- Convert ounces to grams: 8 × 28.35 = 226.80g
- 1 cup of soy sauce = 255g
- 226.80g ÷ 255g/cup = 0.89 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.
