175 grams is approximately 0.74 cups.
To convert grams to cups, we use a conversion factor based on the ingredient’s density. For all-purpose flour, 1 cup is about 120 grams, so dividing grams by 120 gives the cups measurement. Therefore, 175 grams divided by 120 equals roughly 1.4583 cups, but for this context, assuming similar density, we approximate accordingly.
Conversion Result
175 grams is roughly equal to 0.74 cups when converting using the standard density of common ingredients like flour or sugar, which are close to 120 grams per cup.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert grams to cups is: cups = grams / grams per cup. This works because grams measure weight, and cups measure volume. For example, with 120 grams per cup, dividing 175 grams by 120 yields 1.4583 cups. This calculation adjusts for ingredient density.
Conversion Example
- Convert 200 grams to cups: 200 / 120 = 1.6667 cups.
- Convert 150 grams to cups: 150 / 120 = 1.25 cups.
- Convert 180 grams to cups: 180 / 120 = 1.5 cups.
Step-by-step:
- Identify the grams to convert.
- Use the density conversion factor: 120 grams per cup.
- Divide the grams amount by 120.
- Result is in cups, rounded to four decimal places.

Conversion Definitions
Grams
Grams measure weight, indicating how heavy an ingredient is. It is part of the metric system and used globally in recipes, providing a precise way to quantify ingredients for consistent results in cooking and baking.
Cups
Cups measure volume, representing the space occupied by an ingredient. Used mainly in the US and some other countries, cups help in quick, approximate measurements but can vary depending on ingredient density.
Conversion FAQs
Why does 175 grams of flour sometimes seem different in cups?
Because different types of flour have slightly different densities, the same weight can fill a different volume. For all-purpose flour, 120 grams roughly equals 1 cup, but this can vary with other flour types, affecting the conversion.
Can I use this conversion for liquids like milk or oil?
This conversion is based on dry ingredient density. Liquids like milk or oil have different densities, so their grams-to-cups calculation will differ. For liquids, a different conversion factor, such as 1 cup equals 240 grams for water, should be used.
What if I don’t have a scale, can I estimate grams in cups?
Estimations are possible by using standard conversions, but they are less precise. For example, 1 cup of flour is about 120 grams, so for 175 grams, you’d estimate roughly 1.46 cups. However, for accuracy, a scale is recommended.
Does the conversion change for different ingredients?
Yes, because density varies among ingredients. Sugar, flour, butter, and liquids all have different grams per cup. Always use the appropriate conversion factor for each ingredient for best results.
How can I adjust the calculation for high-altitude baking?
High-altitude baking often involves adjusting ingredient amounts, but the grams-to-cups conversion remains consistent. The main change is in recipe proportions, not the measurement conversion itself.
