How Much Is 47.96 Ounces of Yogurt in Cups?
47.96 ounces of yogurt equals 5.55 cups. Yogurt has a density of 245g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 47.96 ounces of yogurt
- Convert ounces to grams: 47.96 × 28.35 = 1,359.64g
- 1 cup of yogurt = 245g
- 1,359.64g ÷ 245g/cup = 5.55 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh yogurt on a kitchen scale rather than measuring by volume.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
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.
