How 720 grams of all-purpose flour 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 all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams (one hundred twenty-five), so divide 720 by 125.

720 g ÷ 125 g

=

5.76 cups

(five point seven six cups)

The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168894 “Wheat flour, white, all-purpose, enriched, bleached”, portion “1 cup” = 125 grams.

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 all-purpose flour is 125 grams there and here.
