Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 17.78 ounces of coconut oil
- Convert ounces to grams: 17.78 × 28.35 = 504.05g
- 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g
- 504.05g ÷ 218g/cup = 2.31 cups × 8 = 18.50 fluid ounces
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.
