What is 1200 grams of sugar in cups?

To convert grams to cups, you need to know the density of the substance in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). The density of sugar is approximately 0.5 g/cm³. So, to find the volume of 1200 grams of sugar in cubic centimeters, you divide the mass by the density:

1200 g / 0.5 g/cm³ = 2400 cm³

Since there are 16 tablespoons (tbsp) in a US cup, we need to convert cubic centimeters to tablespoons:

2400 cm³ / 16 tbsp/cup = 150 tbsp

Finally, we convert tablespoons back to cups by dividing by 16:

150 tbsp / 16 tbsp/cup = 9.375 cups

Therefore, 1200 grams of sugar is approximately equal to 9.375 US cups.
