Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 113g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 665 ounces of cheddar cheese (shredded)
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 665 × 28.35 = 18,852.43g
  3. 1 cup of cheddar cheese (shredded) = 113g
  4. 18,852.43g ÷ 113g/cup = 166.84 cups

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

Measuring Tip

Always shred or grate cheese before measuring by volume. A cup of block cheese weighs much more than a cup of shredded.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 166.84 cups, based on cheddar cheese (shredded) having a density of 113g 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 113 (grams per cup). For 665 ounces: 665 × 28.3495 = 18,852.43g, then 18,852.43 ÷ 113 = 166.84 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh cheddar cheese (shredded) 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.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 166.84 cups × 113g/cup = 18,852.43g, then 18,852.43g ÷ 28.3495 = 665 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
