Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 145g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 1.69 ounces of raisins
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 1.69 × 28.35 = 47.91g
  3. 1 cup of raisins = 145g
  4. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.33 cups, based on raisins having a density of 145g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 145 (grams per cup). For 1.69 ounces: 1.69 × 28.3495 = 47.91g, then 47.91 ÷ 145 = 0.33 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh raisins on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, fill the measuring cup loosely and level off without pressing down. Whole and chopped pieces give different weights per measuring cup.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 0.33 cups × 145g/cup = 47.91g, then 47.91g ÷ 28.3495 = 1.69 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
