64 grams is approximately 0.270 cups.
To convert 64 grams to cups, you need to know the density of the ingredient because grams measure weight and cups measure volume. Assuming a common ingredient like all-purpose flour, 1 cup weighs about 236 grams, so dividing 64 by 236 gives the volume in cups.

Conversion Formula
The formula used to convert grams (g) to cups is based on dividing the mass by the density of the ingredient in grams per cup. Since 1 US cup equals approximately 236.588 grams of water, the formula is:
Cups = Grams ÷ 236.588
This works because grams measure weight, and cups measure volume. You must use a consistent density value. For water or similar density ingredients, this formula is accurate.
For example, to convert 64 g to cups:
- Start with 64 grams.
- Divide by 236.588 grams per cup: 64 ÷ 236.588 ≈ 0.270 cups.
That means 64 grams of water (or similar density substance) equals about 0.270 cups.
Conversion Example
- Example 1: Convert 100 g to cups
- Start with 100 grams.
- Divide by 236.588: 100 ÷ 236.588 = 0.422 cups.
- Result: 100 g is about 0.422 cups.
- Example 2: Convert 150 g to cups
- Take 150 grams.
- Divide by 236.588: 150 ÷ 236.588 = 0.634 cups.
- Answer: 150 g equals approximately 0.634 cups.
- Example 3: Convert 200 g to cups
- Start from 200 grams.
- Divide by 236.588: 200 ÷ 236.588 = 0.845 cups.
- This means 200 g is roughly 0.845 cups.
- Example 4: Convert 50 g to cups
- Begin with 50 grams.
- Divide by 236.588: 50 ÷ 236.588 = 0.211 cups.
- So, 50 g equals about 0.211 cups.

Conversion Definitions
g (grams): Grams is a metric unit of mass used to measure the weight of objects or substances. It equals one thousandth of a kilogram and is commonly used in sciences, cooking, and everyday measurements worldwide.
Cups: Cups is a unit of volume mostly used in cooking to measure liquids and dry ingredients. In the US, 1 cup is equal to 236.588 milliliters. It varies in other countries but is widely recognized for recipe measurements.
Conversion FAQs
Does the conversion from grams to cups change with different ingredients?
Yes, the conversion varies depending on the density of the ingredient. Water-based liquids have a close match between grams and milliliters, but powders like flour or sugar have different densities, so 64 g of flour will be more cups than 64 g of sugar because flour is lighter per volume.
Why can’t I just use a fixed number to convert grams to cups?
Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the relationship depends on ingredient density. A fixed number only works if you assume the density is constant, which is true for water but not for all substances. So, 64 g of oil and 64 g of flour won’t equal the same volume in cups.
Is there a difference between US cups and metric cups in conversions?
Yes, US cups equal about 236.588 milliliters, while metric cups are 250 milliliters. When converting grams to cups, using the correct cup definition matters to get precise volume results, especially for baking where accuracy counts.
How accurate is converting 64 grams to cups without measuring tools?
Without scales or measuring cups, conversions are estimates. Using a formula or chart gives approximate values, but ingredient packing, moisture, or grind size can cause small errors. For precise baking or cooking, weighing ingredients is better than converting.
Can I convert grams to cups for liquids and solids the same way?
No, because liquids and solids have different densities. For liquids like water, 64 grams is close to 64 milliliters, which converts directly to cups by volume. For solids, you must know their specific weight per cup to convert grams properly to cups volume.
