How many grams is 1 1/2 cups?
Answer
A cup measures volume, and every ingredient packs a different weight into it, so 1 1/2 cups has no single weight. The table gives all 19 ingredients, with the packed, sifted and cooked states on rows of their own, each from the weight of one US cup (236.6 ml) in USDA FoodData Central; water is counted from its volume.

How 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour was converted to grams
One US cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams (one hundred twenty-five), so multiply 1 1/2 by 125.
1 1/2 × 125 g
=187.5 grams
(one hundred eighty-seven point five grams)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168894 “Wheat flour, white, all-purpose, enriched, bleached”, portion “1 cup” = 125 grams. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a cup weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.
The other way round: how many cups a weight fills
This page starts from cups and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many cups a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to cups converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of all-purpose flour is 0.8 cups there.
