How Much Is 5.4 Cups of Cashews in Ounces?
5.4 cups of cashews weighs 26.10 oz. This is based on cashews having a density of 137g 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 5.4 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.4 cups of cashews
- 1 cup of cashews = 137g
- 5.4 × 137 = 739.8g
- Convert grams to ounces: 739.8 ÷ 28.3495 = 26.10 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Chopped, sliced, and whole cashews have very different weights per measuring cup. Always match the form specified in your recipe.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
