How Much Is 12 Ounces of Semolina Flour in Cups?
12 ounces of semolina flour equals 2.04 cups. That's 340.19g, and Semolina flour has a density of 167g 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 12 ounces of semolina flour
- Convert ounces to grams: 12 × 28.35 = 340.19g
- 1 cup of semolina flour = 167g
- 340.19g ÷ 167g/cup = 2.04 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
