That is the only kind of ounces you can use. The other kind is in terms of weight, but you cannot convert it that way. That is like saying two cups equal 1 pound, but two cups of what? Hope that makes sense.

A cup is a measure of volume, not weight. The weight of a cup of fruit would depend on the density of the fruit, presence & thickness of a peel, size & number of seeds/pits, etc. It's impossible to answer because we don't know what you are measuring weight- and volume-wise. Are you measuring the whole fruit, including non-edible parts or measuring the fruit as it would be used in a recipe--peeled, seeded & chopped?
If you are trying to figure out how much you need to buy at the grocery in order to get a certain number of cups for a recipe, just eyeball it... a cup is about the size of a tennis ball. Again, you may need to buy a bit more if you will be removing seeds, pits or cores. Hope that helps!
