How many cups is 120 grams shredded cheese?

Explanation: To convert grams to cups for shredded cheese, you need to know the density of shredded cheese. On average, shredded cheese has a density of about 0.1 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). This means that 1 gram of shredded cheese occupies 10 cubic centimeters (cm³). So, to find the volume of 120 grams of shredded cheese, we divide 120 grams by 0.1 g/cm³, which gives us 1200 cm³. Since there are about 237 cm³ in a standard US cup, we divide 1200 cm³ by 237 cm³/cup, which gives us approximately 5.06 cups. However, since shredded cheese tends to pack tightly, it is common to estimate that 120 grams of shredded cheese is about 1.2 cups.
