Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 145g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 98.2 ounces of raisins
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 98.2 × 28.35 = 2,783.92g
  3. 1 cup of raisins = 145g
  4. 2,783.92g ÷ 145g/cup = 19.20 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 19.20 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 98.2 ounces: 98.2 × 28.3495 = 2,783.92g, then 2,783.92 ÷ 145 = 19.20 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: 19.20 cups × 145g/cup = 2,783.92g, then 2,783.92g ÷ 28.3495 = 98.2 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
