Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 6 ounces of maple syrup
- Convert ounces to grams: 6 × 28.35 = 170.10g
- 1 cup of maple syrup = 312g
- 170.10g ÷ 312g/cup = 0.55 cups × 16 = 8.72 tablespoons
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.
