Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 226g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 31.89 ounces of cottage cheese
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 31.89 × 28.35 = 904.07g
  3. 1 cup of cottage cheese = 226g
  4. 904.07g ÷ 226g/cup = 4.00 cups

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

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?

A cup is a US customary unit of volume equal to 236.588 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces. It is the most common volume measurement in American recipes. One cup can be divided into 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 4.00 cups, based on cottage cheese having a density of 226g 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 226 (grams per cup). For 31.89 ounces: 31.89 × 28.3495 = 904.07g, then 904.07 ÷ 226 = 4.00 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh cottage cheese 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: 4.00 cups × 226g/cup = 904.07g, then 904.07g ÷ 28.3495 = 31.89 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
