1 It would also be helpful to know what a cup of graham cracker crumbs weighs. My box of crackers is 14.4oz. I could estimate what portion of the box to use if I know how much a cup of crumbs weighs.
According to Cook's Thesaurus http://www.foodsubs.com/Crumbs.html 14 graham crackers = 1 Cup crumbs so, 12 graham crackers = 3/4 C + 1 Tbs (approximately)
doing the math it is just under 3/4 of a cup
20 graham crackers = 10 ounces so 1 graham cracker = 0.5 ounces.

It depends on how big each crumb is.
Approximately 1/8 of a cup

A box of stuffing is usually between 1.5 and 2 cups depending on the shape and the breadcrumbs. More finely ground crumbs would be closer to 1 or 1.5 cups. Large crumbs or cubes would be more likely 2+ cups.
