How to convert ounces of water to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 5 oz = 142 g. One US cup of water weighs 237 g, so 142 ÷ 237 = 0.6 cups.
Measure liquids in a clear jug at eye level. Thick dairy like yogurt or sour cream should be levelled in a dry cup.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 5 ounces of water?
5 ounces of water is about ⅝ cup (0.6 cups), based on 237 g per level US cup.

Slightly. UK, Australian and New Zealand recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, which is about 6% bigger than a US cup (236.6 ml). In metric cups, 5 ounces of water is 0.57 cups.
Should I weigh water or measure it by volume?
Measure liquids in a clear jug at eye level. Thick dairy like yogurt or sour cream should be levelled in a dry cup. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
