Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 245g/cup = cups

Start with 5 ounces of yogurt
Convert ounces to grams: 5 × 28.35 = 141.75g
1 cup of yogurt = 245g
141.75g ÷ 245g/cup = 0.58 cups

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