How Much Is 0.13 Cups of Cornstarch in Grams?
0.13 cups of cornstarch weighs 16.64 g. This is based on cornstarch having a density of 128g per cup. Because cups measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 0.13 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.13 cups of cornstarch
- 1 cup of cornstarch = 128g
- 0.13 × 128 = 16.64g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.
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.
