How Much Is 8.86 Cups of Almonds (Sliced) in Ounces?
8.86 cups of almonds (sliced) weighs 28.75 oz. This is based on almonds (sliced) having a density of 92g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 8.86 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.86 cups of almonds (sliced)
- 1 cup of almonds (sliced) = 92g
- 8.86 × 92 = 815.12g
- Convert grams to ounces: 815.12 ÷ 28.3495 = 28.75 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
When a recipe says "1 cup nuts, chopped" vs "1 cup chopped nuts," the first means measure whole then chop. The second means chop first then measure. The weight difference can be significant.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
