Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 16.1 ounces of olive oil
- Convert ounces to grams: 16.1 × 28.35 = 456.43g
- 1 cup of olive oil = 216g
- 456.43g ÷ 216g/cup = 2.11 cups × 8 = 16.90 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?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
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.
