Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 16.23 ounces of vegetable oil
- Convert ounces to grams: 16.23 × 28.35 = 460.11g
- 1 cup of vegetable oil = 218g
- 460.11g ÷ 218g/cup = 2.11 cups × 8 = 16.88 fluid ounces
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
