How Much Is 1.5 Cups of Rice (Long Grain) in Ounces?
1.5 cups of rice (long grain) weighs 9.79 oz. This is based on rice (long grain) having a density of 185g 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 1.5 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.5 cups of rice (long grain)
- 1 cup of rice (long grain) = 185g
- 1.5 × 185 = 277.5g
- Convert grams to ounces: 277.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 9.79 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Uncooked and cooked grains have completely different weights per cup. These conversions are for uncooked/dry grains unless specified otherwise.

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?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
