To convert ounces (oz) to dry cups, you can use the standard conversion:
1 cup = 8 oz.
To find out how many dry cups are in 28 oz, divide 28 by 8:
28 oz÷8=3.5 cups
So, 28 oz is equivalent to 3.5 dry cups.
To elaborate further, here’s how conversions work for dry measurements:
- 1 cup = 8 ounces (oz) in the United States for most dry ingredients.
- To convert from ounces to cups, divide the number of ounces by 8.
For example:
- 28 oz ÷ 8 = 3.5 cups.
If you’re measuring different ingredients, keep in mind that the weight of ingredients can vary. For instance:
- 1 cup of flour weighs approximately 4.5 oz.
- 1 cup of sugar weighs around 7 oz.
So for those ingredients, 28 oz would be a different number of cups depending on the weight of the specific ingredient being measured. But for a simple liquid or general dry weight conversion, 28 oz is 3.5 cups.
