How Much Is 3.15 Cups of Table Salt in Ounces?
Converting 3.15 cups of table salt to ounces gives 32.00 oz. One cup of table salt weighs 288g, so 3.15 cups is 3.15 × 288 = 907.2g (32.00 oz). This conversion is specific to table salt because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3.15 cups of table salt
- 1 cup of table salt = 288g
- 3.15 × 288 = 907.2g
- Convert grams to ounces: 907.2 ÷ 28.3495 = 32.00 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Table salt is the densest common salt at 288g per cup. It is significantly heavier per measuring cup than kosher salt because the fine crystals pack tightly.

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.
