Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 17.35 pounds of corn syrup
- Convert pounds to grams: 17.35 × 453.59 = 7,869.83g
- 1 cup of corn syrup = 328g
- 7,869.83g ÷ 328g/cup = 23.99 cups ÷ 16 = 1.50 gallons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
