How Much Is 36.97 Ounces of Tomato Paste in Cups?
Converting 36.97 ounces of tomato paste to cups gives 4.00 cups. First convert to grams (36.97 oz = 1,048.08g), then divide by the density of tomato paste (262g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 36.97 ounces of tomato paste
- Convert ounces to grams: 36.97 × 28.35 = 1,048.08g
- 1 cup of tomato paste = 262g
- 1,048.08g ÷ 262g/cup = 4.00 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Tomato paste is commonly used as a fat or egg substitute in baking. When substituting, convert by weight for accuracy.

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.
