150 grams is approximately 0.63 cups.
This conversion is based on the density of the ingredient being converted, assuming we are converting a substance like all-purpose flour where 1 cup weighs about 240 grams. Since grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the conversion depends on the ingredient’s density.

Conversion Formula
To convert grams (g) to cups, you divide the weight in grams by the grams per cup value. Cups measure volume, while grams measure mass, so the conversion depends on ingredient density. For flour, 1 cup equals about 240 grams, so:
cups = grams ÷ 240
This formula works by translating the weight into volume using the average weight of a cup of that ingredient. For example, 150 grams of flour:
- Start with 150 g
- Divide by 240 g per cup: 150 ÷ 240 = 0.625 cups
- You get roughly 0.63 cups
Conversion Example
- Convert 200 grams to cups:
- Take 200 g
- Divide by 240 g per cup: 200 ÷ 240 = 0.8333 cups
- Result is about 0.83 cups
- Convert 100 grams to cups:
- Start with 100 g
- Divide by 240: 100 ÷ 240 = 0.4167 cups
- Approximately 0.42 cups
- Convert 175 grams to cups:
- 175 g divided by 240 equals 0.729 cups
- About 0.73 cups
- Convert 50 grams to cups:
- 50 ÷ 240 = 0.2083 cups
- Rounded to 0.21 cups

Conversion Definitions
g (Gram): A gram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram. It measures the weight of an object or substance. Grams are widely used in cooking and science for quantifying small masses. It is a base unit in the metric system.
Cups: A cup is a unit of volume used in cooking to measure liquids or solids. In US standard, one cup equals 240 milliliters. The cup measure vary internationally, but it often refers to a fixed volume container used for ingredient portioning.
Conversion FAQs
Why can’t I just convert grams directly to cups without ingredient type?
Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the density of the ingredient affects the result. For example, 150 grams of flour occupies more volume than 150 grams of honey. Without knowing the ingredient, the conversion can be inaccurate.
Does the temperature or humidity affect gram to cup conversion?
Temperature and humidity can influence ingredient density and how compact it is in a cup. For example, flour can clump or fluff up changing volume slightly, so cup measurements might vary even if grams stay constant.
Are there standard conversions for all ingredients from grams to cups?
No, each ingredient has a different density so the grams per cup ratio changes. Water is 1 gram per milliliter, so 1 cup of water is 240 grams, but flour weighs less per cup. Always check ingredient-specific conversions.
Why does my converted cup value differ from recipe instructions?
Recipes sometimes round or use approximate values. Also, some use metric cups (250 ml) instead of US cups (240 ml). Ingredient packing and measuring method can cause small differences in cup amounts.
Can I use this conversion for baking ingredients other than flour?
You can, but with caution. This formula fits for flour-like powders. For sugars, liquids, or denser ingredients, you must use their specific grams-to-cups ratio to get accurate results.
