How many grams is 2 1/2 cups of water?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of water weighs 236.6 grams, from its volume: 1 ml of water weighs about 1 g.
2 1/2 cups of water equals 591.5 grams; the way back, from grams to cups, is the Grams to Cups converter.
1 ml of water weighs about 1 g, so 2 1/2 cups of water weighs what its volume is, 591.5 ml — the question the cups to milliliters converter answers by volume.
This is the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A recipe written for the metric cup of 250 ml (Australia, New Zealand, Canada) means 5.7 % more: 625 grams.
How 2 1/2 cups of water was converted to grams
One US cup of water weighs 236.6 grams (two hundred thirty-six point six), so multiply 2 1/2 by 236.5882365.
2 1/2 × 236.5882365 g
≈591.5 grams
(five hundred ninety-one point five grams)
The weight of the cup comes from its volume: 1 ml of water weighs about 1 g.
