Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 328g/cup ÷ 16 = gallons

Start with 2.17 pounds of corn syrup
Convert pounds to grams: 2.17 × 453.59 = 984.30g
1 cup of corn syrup = 328g
984.30g ÷ 328g/cup = 3.00 cups ÷ 16 = 0.19 gallons

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.
