How Much Is 8 Ounces of Peanuts in Cups?
8 ounces of peanuts equals 1.55 cups. That's 226.80g, 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 8 ounces of peanuts
- Convert ounces to grams: 8 × 28.35 = 226.80g
- 1 cup of peanuts = 146g
- 226.80g ÷ 146g/cup = 1.55 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
