How Much Is 2.89 Cups of Maple Syrup in Grams?
2.89 cups of maple syrup weighs 901.68 g. This is based on maple syrup having a density of 312g 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 2.89 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.89 cups of maple syrup
- 1 cup of maple syrup = 312g
- 2.89 × 312 = 901.68g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

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.
