Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 113g/cup ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 20.07 cups of cheddar cheese (shredded)
  2. 1 cup of cheddar cheese (shredded) = 113g
  3. 20.07 × 113 = 2,267.91g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 2,267.91 ÷ 28.3495 = 80.00 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Cheese density varies by type. Hard cheeses like Parmesan weigh more per cup than soft cheeses like mozzarella.

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?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 80.00 oz, based on cheddar cheese (shredded) having a density of 113g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 113 (grams per cup for cheddar cheese (shredded)), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 20.07 cups: 20.07 × 113 = 2,267.91g, then 2,267.91 ÷ 28.3495 = 80.00 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh cheddar cheese (shredded) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 80.00 oz × 28.3495 = 2,267.91g, then 2,267.91g ÷ 113 = 20.07 cups. Or use the Ounces to Cups converter.
