Master chart for fluid ounces vs. dry weight ounces: 1 oz to tbsp, 32 oz to cups, 17 oz to cups, 21 oz to cups, 14.5 oz cans, 5.3 oz Greek yogurt, and chocolate chips.
1. Fluid ounces to tablespoons and cups (32 oz, 17 oz, 21 oz, 36 oz, 46 oz)
In the US customary system, 1 fluid ounce (fl oz) equals 2 tablespoons (6 teaspoons, or 29.57 mL), and 8 fluid ounces equal 1 US cup (16 tablespoons, or 236.6 mL).
- 0.5 fl oz = 1 tbsp • 0.75 fl oz = 1.5 tbsp • 1 fl oz = 2 tbsp • 1.5 fl oz = 3 tbsp • 2.5 fl oz = 5 tbsp • 3.5 fl oz = 7 tbsp • 4.5 fl oz = 9 tbsp • 5 fl oz = 10 tbsp • 7 fl oz = 14 tbsp • 9 fl oz = 18 tbsp • 10 fl oz = 20 tbsp.
- 14.5 fl oz can = 1.81 cups (~1 3/4 cups) • 15 fl oz can = 1.88 cups • 16 fl oz = 2 cups (1 pint).
- 17 fl oz = 2.125 cups (2 1/8 cups) • 20 fl oz = 2.5 cups • 21 fl oz = 2.625 cups (2 5/8 cups) • 24 fl oz = 3 cups.
- 32 fl oz = 4 cups (1 quart) • 35 fl oz = 4.375 cups • 36 fl oz = 4.5 cups • 46 fl oz = 5.75 cups • 50 fl oz = 6.25 cups.
2. Dry weight ounces to cups for yogurt, sour cream, chocolate chips & flour
Dry weight ounces measure mass (16 oz = 1 lb = 453.6g). Because ingredients have different densities: a 5.3 oz Greek yogurt cup holds 2/3 cup; a 6 oz yogurt cup holds 3/4 cup; a 16 oz tub of sour cream holds 2 cups; 4 oz of chocolate chips equals 2/3 cup (10 oz = 1 2/3 cups); 1 oz of flour equals ~3.6 tablespoons; and 1 oz of butter equals 2 tablespoons.
