How Much Is 2.08 Cups of Self-Rising Flour in Ounces?
2.08 cups of self-rising flour weighs 8.80 oz. This is based on self-rising flour having a density of 120g 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 2.08 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.08 cups of self-rising flour
- 1 cup of self-rising flour = 120g
- 2.08 × 120 = 249.6g
- Convert grams to ounces: 249.6 ÷ 28.3495 = 8.80 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

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?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
