Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 ounces of corn syrup
- Convert ounces to grams: 5 × 28.35 = 141.75g
- 1 cup of corn syrup = 328g
- 141.75g ÷ 328g/cup = 0.43 cups × 8 = 3.46 fluid ounces
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

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 Fluid Ounce?
Fluid ounces measure how much space a liquid takes up, while ounces (oz) measure weight. 1 fluid ounce of water weighs close to 1 oz, but for other liquids like honey or oil, the weight per fluid ounce is different.
