Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 ounces of maple syrup
- Convert ounces to grams: 5 × 28.35 = 141.75g
- 1 cup of maple syrup = 312g
- 141.75g ÷ 312g/cup = 0.45 cups × 8 = 3.63 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?
The US fluid ounce (29.574 ml) and the UK fluid ounce (28.413 ml) are different sizes. The UK version is about 4% smaller. This means a UK recipe calling for 8 fl oz gives you 227 ml, while 8 US fl oz gives you 237 ml. The difference is small per ounce but adds up in larger quantities.
