125 grams of sugar is equivalent to how many cups?

To determine how many cups are equivalent to 125 grams of sugar, we need to know the density of sugar. The density of granulated sugar is approximately 0.6 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

To calculate the volume of 125 grams of sugar, we can use the formula:

Volume (V) = Mass (M) / Density (ρ)

Substituting the given values, we get:

V = 125 g / 0.6 g/cm³

V ≈ 208.33 cm³

Now, to convert the volume from cubic centimeters to cups, we need to divide the volume by the volume of 1 cup, which is approximately 240 cm³:

Number of cups = Volume of sugar (cm³) / Volume of 1 cup (cm³)

Number of cups ≈ 208.33 cm³ / 240 cm³

Number of cups ≈ 0.868 cups

Therefore, 125 grams of sugar is equivalent to approximately 0.868 cups.
