How Much Is 240 Ounces of Raisins in Cups?
Converting 240 ounces of raisins to cups gives 46.92 cups. First convert to grams (240 oz = 6,803.89g), then divide by the density of raisins (145g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 240 ounces of raisins
- Convert ounces to grams: 240 × 28.35 = 6,803.89g
- 1 cup of raisins = 145g
- 6,803.89g ÷ 145g/cup = 46.92 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?
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.
