How Much Is 0.05 Ounces of Raisins in Cups?
0.05 ounces of raisins equals 0.01 cups. That's 1.42g, and Raisins has a density of 145g 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 0.05 ounces of raisins
- Convert ounces to grams: 0.05 × 28.35 = 1.42g
- 1 cup of raisins = 145g
- 1.42g ÷ 145g/cup = 0.0098 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Chopping dried fruit before measuring gives a denser pack and higher weight per cup than whole pieces. Match the form your recipe specifies.

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?
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.
