How Much Is 171 Cups of Raisins in Ounces?
Converting 171 cups of raisins to ounces gives 874.62 oz. One cup of raisins weighs 145g, so 171 cups is 171 × 145 = 24,795g (874.62 oz). This conversion is specific to raisins because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 171 cups of raisins
- 1 cup of raisins = 145g
- 171 × 145 = 24,795g
- Convert grams to ounces: 24,795 ÷ 28.3495 = 874.62 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.

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.
