How Much Is 720 Grams of Light Cream in Cups?
Converting 720 grams of light cream to cups gives 3.00 cups. Divide by the density of light cream (240g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 720 grams of light cream
- 1 cup of light cream = 240g
- 720g ÷ 240g/cup = 3 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

Understanding the Units
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.
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.
