Cups = Grams ÷ (grams per cup for ingredient)
Grams to Cups Conversion Examples
- 240 g flour to cups
Step 1: Flour = 120 g per cup
Step 2: 240 ÷ 120
Step 3: Result = 2 cups - 100 g sugar to cups
Step 1: Sugar = 200 g per cup
Step 2: 100 ÷ 200
Step 3: Result = 0.5 cups - 227 g butter to cups
Step 1: Butter = 227 g per cup
Step 2: 227 ÷ 227
Step 3: Result = 1 cup
Cups to Grams Conversion Formula
Formula Example:
Grams = Cups × (grams per cup for ingredient)
- 2 cups flour to grams
Step 1: 1 cup flour = 120 g
Step 2: 2 × 120
Step 3: Result = 240 g - 1.5 cups sugar to grams
Step 1: 1 cup sugar = 200 g
Step 2: 1.5 × 200
Step 3: Result = 300 g - 0.5 cups butter to grams
Step 1: 1 cup butter = 227 g
Step 2: 0.5 × 227
Step 3: Result = 113.5 g
