How to Convert Fluid Ounces to Cups

To convert a measurement in fluid ounces to a measurement in cups, divide the volume by the following conversion ratio: 8 fluid ounces/cup.

Since one cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cups = fluid ounces ÷ 8

The volume in cups is equal to the volume in fluid ounces divided by 8.

For example, here's how to convert 5 fluid ounces to cups using the formula above.

cups = (5 fl oz ÷ 8) = 0.625 c

The fluid ounce is a US customary unit of volume. Fluid ounces can be abbreviated as fl oz, and are also sometimes abbreviated as oz fl. For example, 1 fluid ounce can be written as 1 fl oz or 1 oz fl.
