How many dry ounces in a cup


There are 8 fluid ounces (fl oz) in a standard cup. Since "dry" ounces refer to weight measurements, we need to clarify that the question is likely referring to volume measurements (like liquid or powder).

So, if you're measuring dry ingredients like flour, sugar, or cereal, the answer would be:

1 cup = 8 fluid ounces

However, if you're measuring liquids like water, juice, or milk, the answer would still be:

1 cup = 8 fluid ounces

It's essential to specify whether you're using dry or liquid measurements when asking about the number of ounces in a cup.
