How many cups in 3.5 oz coconut?

3.5 oz of coconut is equivalent to approximately 0.44 cups. To calculate this, we need to know the density of coconut, which is roughly 0.44 oz per cubic inch. Therefore, 3.5 oz of coconut is equal to 3.5 oz / 0.44 oz/cubic inch = 8 cubic inches. Since there are 16 tablespoons in a cup, and each tablespoon is approximately 0.5 cubic inches, we can calculate that 8 cubic inches is equal to 8 / 0.5 = 16 tablespoons. Therefore, 3.5 oz of coconut is equivalent to 16 tablespoons, or approximately 0.44 cups.
