How Much Is 8.47 Ounces of Almonds (Whole) in Cups?
Converting 8.47 ounces of almonds (whole) to cups gives 1.68 cups. First convert to grams (8.47 oz = 240.12g), then divide by the density of almonds (whole) (143g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.47 ounces of almonds (whole)
- Convert ounces to grams: 8.47 × 28.35 = 240.12g
- 1 cup of almonds (whole) = 143g
- 240.12g ÷ 143g/cup = 1.68 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh almonds (whole) on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements of nuts vary depending on size, shape, and how tightly they pack.

Understanding the Units
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.
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.
