How Much Is 8.64 Ounces of Tomato Sauce in Cups?
8.64 ounces of tomato sauce equals 1.00 cup. That's 244.94g, and Tomato sauce has a density of 245g 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 8.64 ounces of tomato sauce
- Convert ounces to grams: 8.64 × 28.35 = 244.94g
- 1 cup of tomato sauce = 245g
- 244.94g ÷ 245g/cup = 1.00 cup
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.

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.
