How much is 1 american cup of ice-cream in Grams??

1 cup = 110 gramsHow much is 1 american cup of ice-cream in Grams??
One American cup is 8 oz. There are 28.35 grams in one ounce, so the answer is 226.8 grams.How much is 1 american cup of ice-cream in Grams??
I american cup has no relationship whatsoever with grams. Cups are a measure of volume, whereas grams are a measure of mass. Asking how many mLs are in an American cup would be appropriate. The answer is that there are about 237 mLs in one American cup. One would have to know the material being measured and it's density to get the relationship b/w cups and grams.





Oh yeah, and skpicky, grams are NOT a measure of weight. They are a measure of MASS. Weight DOES change, mass is constant.
There really is no good answer to this question. A cup is a measure of volume, and a gram is a measure of weight. The weight of some things does not vary, but ';ice cream'; does not always weigh the same.





For instance, if you buy the ';store brand'; ice cream, it will weigh less than say, Ben and Jerry's (premium) ice cream. The regular brand has more air whipped into it, so it weighs less per volume.
It is a guessing game. All ice creams have diferent weights even with the same volume.


You need to convert volume for volume, and weight for weight.


A cup which is volume, converts to 237ml. 1 cup in volume is 8 fluid ounces in America.


The only thing that I can guarantee weighs 8 ounce when measured to 1 cup is water, which converts to227 grams.
