2.78 cups of rye flour weighs 10.00 oz. This is based on rye flour having a density of 102g 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 2.78 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.78 cups of rye flour
- 1 cup of rye flour = 102g
