Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 17.99 ounces of molasses
- Convert ounces to grams: 17.99 × 28.35 = 510.01g
- 1 cup of molasses = 340g
- 510.01g ÷ 340g/cup = 1.5 cups × 8 = 12.00 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.
