How many cups is 5 grams 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.
5 grams of water equals 0.0211 US cups; the way back, from cups to grams, is the Cups to Grams converter.
1 ml of water weighs about 1 g, so 5 grams of water takes the same room as 5 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 0.02 cups of that size.
How 5 grams of water was converted to cups
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 5 by 236.5882365.
5 g ÷ 236.5882365 g
≈0.0211 cups
(zero point zero two one one cups)
The weight of the cup comes from its volume: 1 ml of water weighs about 1 g.

The other way round: how many grams in a cup
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.
