How many cups in 500 g raisins?

To determine the number of cups in 500 grams of raisins, we need to consider the density of raisins and the conversion factor between grams and cups.

The density of raisins is approximately 0.6 g/cm³. This means that for every cubic centimeter of raisins, their mass is 0.6 grams.

Now, let's calculate the volume of 500 grams of raisins:

Volume = Mass / Density

Volume = 500 g / 0.6 g/cm³

Volume ≈ 833.33 cm³

Since 1 cup is equivalent to approximately 236.6 cm³, we can calculate the number of cups in 833.33 cm³:

Number of cups = Volume / Volume per cup

Number of cups = 833.33 cm³ / 236.6 cm³/cup

Number of cups ≈ 3.51 cups

Therefore, there are approximately 3.51 cups in 500 grams of raisins.
