What is a Fluid Ounce?

A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a unit used to measure volume, commonly in the United States and the United Kingdom. But there is a catch U.S. fluid ounces and UK (Imperial) fluid ounces are slightly different

• 1 U.S. fluid ounce = 29.5735 milliliters (ml)
• 1 UK fluid ounce = 28.4131 milliliters (ml)

How to Convert oz to Cups

Converting ounces to cups is actually easier than it sounds once you understand how these two units relate.

In the U.S. measurement system, 1 cup equals 8 ounces. That means to convert ounces to cups, you simply divide the number of ounces by 8.

But there’s more to it than just the math. It helps to visualize it: if you pour 8 ounces of water into a measuring cup, it will fill it to the 1-cup mark. So, if your recipe calls for 4 ounces of milk, you’ll know that’s exactly half a cup. This conversion is especially useful in cooking and baking, where measurements need to be precise. Understanding how ounces convert to cups will ensure your results come out just right, and if you’re dealing with a number that’s not so clean like 6 oz no worry you can just divide it: 6 / 8 = 0.75 cups, which is three-quarters of a cup. Simple, right?

So, the basic formula is: cups = ounces / 8
