How Much Is 1.68 Ounces of Table Salt in Cups?
1.68 ounces of table salt equals 0.17 cups. That's 47.63g, and Table salt has a density of 288g 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 1.68 ounces of table salt
- Convert ounces to grams: 1.68 × 28.35 = 47.63g
- 1 cup of table salt = 288g
- 47.63g ÷ 288g/cup = 0.17 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
If your recipe was developed with kosher salt, using the same volume of table salt will over-season the dish. Always check which salt type your recipe specifies, or convert by weight.
