How Much Is 1.49 Cups of Peanuts in Ounces?
1.49 cups of peanuts weighs 7.67 oz. This is based on peanuts having a density of 146g 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 1.49 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.49 cups of peanuts
- 1 cup of peanuts = 146g
- 1.49 × 146 = 217.54g
- Convert grams to ounces: 217.54 ÷ 28.3495 = 7.67 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 peanuts have very different weights per measuring cup. Always match the form specified in your recipe.

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.
