How Much Is 8.64 Ounces of Pumpkin Puree in Cups?
8.64 ounces of pumpkin puree equals 1.00 cup. That's 244.94g, and Pumpkin puree has a density of 245g 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 8.64 ounces of pumpkin puree
- Convert ounces to grams: 8.64 × 28.35 = 244.94g
- 1 cup of pumpkin puree = 245g
- 244.94g ÷ 245g/cup = 1.00 cup
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Mashed and pureed ingredients vary in density depending on texture. A smoother puree packs more densely per cup than a chunky one.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
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.
