What is 1 1/8 Cups in Grams?
To convert 1 1/8 cups to grams, we need to know the density of the ingredient we're working with. Different ingredients have different densities, which affect the weight of the final product.
For the sake of this example, let's assume we're working with all-purpose flour. The density of all-purpose flour is approximately 0.5 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
Converting Cups to Grams
To convert 1 1/8 cups to grams, we'll follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert Cups to Milliliters
1 cup is equivalent to 236.6 milliliters (mL). Since we're working with 1 1/8 cups, we'll calculate the total volume as follows:
1 1/8 cups = 1.125 cups 1.125 cups × 236.6 mL/cup = 265.825 mL
Step 2: Calculate the Weight in Grams
Now, let's calculate the weight in grams using the density of all-purpose flour:
Weight (g) = Volume (mL) × Density (g/cm³) × 1000 Weight (g) = 265.825 mL × 0.5 g/cm³ × 1000 Weight (g) ≈ 132.913 grams
Conclusion
There you have it! 1 1/8 cups of all-purpose flour is equivalent to approximately 132.913 grams. By following these simple steps, you can easily convert cups to grams for any ingredient. Happy baking!
