Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 125.16g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 128 ounces of all-purpose flour
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 128 × 28.35 = 3,628.74g
  3. 1 cup of all-purpose flour = 125.16g
  4. 3,628.74g ÷ 125.16g/cup = 28.99 cups

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 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.

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 28.99 cups, based on all-purpose flour having a density of 125.16g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 125.16 (grams per cup). For 128 ounces: 128 × 28.3495 = 3,628.74g, then 3,628.74 ÷ 125.16 = 28.99 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh all-purpose flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring cup and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off, you will get about 125.16 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 137.68 to 156.45 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 28.99 cups × 125.16g/cup = 3,628.74g, then 3,628.74g ÷ 28.3495 = 128 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
