How Much Is 1.25 Cups of Raisins in Ounces?
1.25 cups of raisins weighs 6.39 oz. This is based on raisins having a density of 145g 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 1.25 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.25 cups of raisins
- 1 cup of raisins = 145g
- 1.25 × 145 = 181.25g
- Convert grams to ounces: 181.25 ÷ 28.3495 = 6.39 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
To prevent dried fruit from sinking in batter, toss it with a tablespoon of flour before folding in. This does not affect the weight measurement.
