How Much Is 0.15 Pints of Molasses in Ounces?
0.15 pints of molasses equals 3.60 oz. Molasses has a density of 340g per cup (680g per pint), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 0.15 pints of all-purpose flour would be 1.32 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.15 pints of molasses
- 1 pint of molasses = 680g
- 0.15 × 680 = 102g
- Convert grams to ounces: 102 ÷ 28.3495 = 3.60 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sticky liquids like molasses are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring cup first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.

Understanding the Units
What is a Pint?
US and UK pints are very different sizes. A US pint is 473 ml while a UK (imperial) pint is 568 ml, making the UK pint about 20% larger. A "pint of milk" in a British recipe is significantly more than in an American recipe.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
