8.47 ounces of whipped cream equals 4.00 cups. That's 240.12g, and Whipped cream has a density of 60g 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 8.47 ounces of whipped cream
- Convert ounces to grams: 8.47 × 28.35 = 240.12g
- 1 cup of whipped cream = 60g
- 240.12g ÷ 60g/cup = 4.00 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
