How many cups is 20 grams of water?

Answer

20 grams of water is
0.0845 US cups

One US cup (236.6 ml) of water weighs 236.6 grams, from its volume: 1 ml of water weighs about 1 g.

20 grams of water equals 0.0845 US cups; the way back, from cups to grams, is the Cups to Grams converter.

1 ml of water weighs about 1 g, so 20 grams of water takes the same room as 20 ml, which is the question the milliliters to cups converter answers by volume.

This is the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup of 250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, is 5.7 % larger, so the same weight fills 0.08 cups of that size.

How 20 grams of water was converted to cups

cups = grams ÷ grams in one US cup

A cup is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US cup of water weighs 236.6 grams (two hundred thirty-six point six), so divide 20 by 236.5882365.

20 g ÷ 236.5882365 g

≈

0.0845 cups

(zero point zero eight four five cups)

The weight of the cup comes from its volume: 1 ml of water weighs about 1 g.

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 water is 236.6 grams there and here.
