How Much Is 1.69 Ounces of Raisins in Cups?
1.69 ounces of raisins equals 0.33 cups. That's 47.91g, 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 1.69 ounces of raisins
- Convert ounces to grams: 1.69 × 28.35 = 47.91g
- 1 cup of raisins = 145g
- 47.91g ÷ 145g/cup = 0.33 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
To prevent dried fruit from sinking in batter, toss it with a tablespoon of flour before folding in. This does not affect the weight measurement.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
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.
