How Much Is 0.18 Cups of Cornmeal in Grams?
Converting 0.18 cups of cornmeal to grams gives 27.00 g. One cup of cornmeal weighs 150g, so 0.18 cups is 0.18 × 150 = 27g. This conversion is specific to cornmeal because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.18 cups of cornmeal
- 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
- 0.18 × 150 = 27g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Pour grains into the measuring cup and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.
Cornmeal at Different Amounts

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
