Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 9.78 cups of cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup of cheddar cheese (shredded) = 113g
- 9.78 × 113 = 1,105.14g
- Convert grams to ounces: 1,105.14 ÷ 28.3495 = 38.98 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

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?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
