Show the working
- Amount in US cups = 1
- Or a weight to convert back = 100
- Grams per cup used = 142 = 142
- Weight = 1 * 142 = 142
- Weight in ounces = 142 / 28.349523125 = 5.0089
- Tablespoons = 1 * 16 = 16
- Teaspoons = 1 * 48 = 48
- Volume = 1 * 236.5882365 = 236.588
- Cups in the weight you entered = 142 > 0 ? 100 / 142 : 0 = 0.704 225
- Tablespoons in that weight = 0.704 225 * 16 = 11.2676
- Implied bulk density = 142 / 236.5882365 = 0.600 199
Values are shown to six significant figures here; the arithmetic itself runs on exact fractions and is only rounded where a number is printed.

The formula
- grams = cups x grams per cup
- 1 US cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons = 236.588 236 5 mL exactly
- 1 ounce = 28.349 523 125 g exactly
Cup figures assume the spoon-and-level convention: fluff the ingredient, spoon it into the cup and sweep the top flat. Dipping the cup straight into the bag packs in up to 20% more.
The volume conversions on this page are exact by definition. Only the grams-per-cup figure is a measured convention, and it is stated above so you can substitute your own.
