Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.51 ounces of all-purpose flour
- Convert ounces to grams: 0.51 × 28.35 = 14.46g
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour = 125.16g
- 14.46g ÷ 125.16g/cup = 0.12 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
