Convert fluid ounces and weight ounces to cups
Formula: Cups = Fluid Ounces ÷ 8
8 fl oz ÷ 8 = 1.00 cups
| Fluid Ounces | Cups |
|---|---|
| 1 fl oz | 0.13 cups |
| 2 fl oz | 0.25 cups |
| 3 fl oz | 0.38 cups |
| 4 fl oz | 0.50 cups |
| 6 fl oz | 0.75 cups |
| 8 fl oz | 1.00 cup |
| 12 fl oz | 1.50 cups |
| 16 fl oz | 2.00 cups |
| 20 fl oz | 2.50 cups |
| 24 fl oz | 3.00 cups |
| 32 fl oz | 4.00 cups |
| 48 fl oz | 6.00 cups |
| 64 fl oz | 8.00 cups |
The confusion between fluid ounces and weight ounces is common in cooking. Understanding the difference is crucial for accurate measurements:
For liquids, the conversion is straightforward:
For dry ingredients measured by weight, the conversion varies:
For liquid measurements, 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces. For dry ingredients by weight, it varies: flour is about 4.4 oz per cup, sugar is about 7 oz per cup, and butter is exactly 8 oz per cup.
Yes, if you're measuring liquids (8 fl oz = 1 cup). For weight, it depends on the ingredient. 8 oz of butter equals 1 cup, but 8 oz of flour is about 1.8 cups because flour is less dense.
Look for "fl oz" or "fluid ounces" for volume. Plain "oz" or "ounces" typically means weight. For liquids, assume fluid ounces. For dry ingredients, context matters - baking recipes often use weight.
It's not recommended. Liquid measuring cups measure volume (fl oz), while dry ingredients should ideally be measured by weight (oz) or in dry measuring cups that allow you to level off the ingredient.
