Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 205g/cup = cups

Start with 10 ounces of lard
Convert ounces to grams: 10 × 28.35 = 283.50g
1 cup of lard = 205g
283.50g ÷ 205g/cup = 1.38 cups

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