How Much Is 2.99 Cups of Dried Cranberries in Ounces?
2.99 cups of dried cranberries weighs 12.66 oz. This is based on dried cranberries having a density of 120g 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 2.99 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.99 cups of dried cranberries
- 1 cup of dried cranberries = 120g
- 2.99 × 120 = 358.8g
- Convert grams to ounces: 358.8 ÷ 28.3495 = 12.66 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Chopping dried fruit before measuring gives a denser pack and higher weight per cup than whole pieces. Match the form your recipe specifies.

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.
