Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 143g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 2.42 ounces of almonds (whole)
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 2.42 × 28.35 = 68.61g
  3. 1 cup of almonds (whole) = 143g
  4. 68.61g ÷ 143g/cup = 0.48 cups

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

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.

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 0.48 cups, based on almonds (whole) having a density of 143g 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 143 (grams per cup). For 2.42 ounces: 2.42 × 28.3495 = 68.61g, then 68.61 ÷ 143 = 0.48 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh almonds (whole) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 0.48 cups × 143g/cup = 68.61g, then 68.61g ÷ 28.3495 = 2.42 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
