how many ounces in a cup of water ? The answer is liquid measuring cups indicate that 1 cup of water has 8 fluid ounces. But what they really mean is 1 cup of liquid = 8 fluid ounces. For dry measurements, the rule changes. Because dry ingredients vary greatly in weight with each other, you can’t rely on the same conversion. For example, 1 cup of flour weighs 4.5 ounces, not 8 ounces. On the other hand, 1 cup of chocolate chips weighs a little over 6 ounces.
