Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.38 ounces of vanilla extract
- Convert ounces to grams: 5.38 × 28.35 = 152.52g
- 1 cup of vanilla extract = 244g
- 152.52g ÷ 244g/cup = 0.63 cups × 8 = 5.00 fluid ounces
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
