How Much Is 10.3 Ounces of Peanuts in Cups?
10.3 ounces of peanuts equals 2.00 cups. That's 292g, and Peanuts has a density of 146g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 10.3 ounces of peanuts
- Convert ounces to grams: 10.3 × 28.35 = 292g
- 1 cup of peanuts = 146g
- 292g ÷ 146g/cup = 2 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
When a recipe says "1 cup nuts, chopped" vs "1 cup chopped nuts," the first means measure whole then chop. The second means chop first then measure. The weight difference can be significant.
