How 20 grams of table salt was converted to cups
A cup is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US cup of table salt weighs 292 grams (two hundred ninety-two), so divide 20 by 292.
20 g ÷ 292 g
≈0.0685 cups
(zero point zero six eight five cups)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173468 “Salt, table”, portion “1 cup” = 292 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.

This page starts from grams and answers in cups. The opposite question — how many grams a recipe’s cups weigh, fractions like 1/2 and 2 1/2 included — is what the cups to grams converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: one US cup of table salt is 292 grams there and here.
