How many grams is 4 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.
4 cups of water equals 946.4 grams; the way back, from grams to cups, is the Grams to Cups converter.
1 ml of water weighs about 1 g, so 4 cups of water weighs what its volume is, 946.4 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: 1,000 grams.
How 4 cups of water was converted to grams
One US cup of water weighs 236.6 grams (two hundred thirty-six point six), so multiply 4 by 236.5882365.

≈946.4 grams
(nine hundred forty-six point four grams)
The weight of the cup comes from its volume: 1 ml of water weighs about 1 g.

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 water is 0.42 cups there.
