Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 200g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 5.29 ounces of rice (short grain)
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 5.29 × 28.35 = 149.97g
  3. 1 cup of rice (short grain) = 200g
  4. 149.97g ÷ 200g/cup = 0.75 cups

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Rice expands roughly 2-3x when cooked. 1 cup of dry rice (short grain) (200g) yields approximately 3 cups cooked.

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?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.75 cups, based on rice (short grain) having a density of 200g 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 200 (grams per cup). For 5.29 ounces: 5.29 × 28.3495 = 149.97g, then 149.97 ÷ 200 = 0.75 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh rice (short grain) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
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: 0.75 cups × 200g/cup = 149.97g, then 149.97g ÷ 28.3495 = 5.29 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
