Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 303 cups of couscous
- 1 cup of couscous = 173g
- 303 × 173 = 52,419g
- Convert grams to ounces: 52,419 ÷ 28.3495 = 1,849.03 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Pour grains into the measuring cup and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.
