How many cups are in a kilo of flour?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking how many cups are equivalent to one kilogram of flour. This requires knowledge of the density of flour to convert the weight measurement (kilograms) into a volume measurement (cups).
Answer
8.33 cups
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is approximately 8.33 cups
Steps to Solve
- Determine the weight to volume conversion factor for flour
Typically, 1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs around 120 grams. This value can vary slightly depending on the type of flour and how it is measured. $$1 ext{ cup of flour} ightarrow 120 ext{ grams}$$
- Convert kilograms to grams
Since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram, we need to convert 1 kilogram of flour to grams. $$1 ext{ kg} = 1000 ext{ grams}$$
- Calculate the number of cups
Divide the total weight in grams by the weight of one cup of flour to find out how many cups are in 1 kilogram. $$\frac{1000 ext{ grams}}{120 ext{ grams per cup}} = 8.33 ext{ cups}$$
The final answer is approximately 8.33 cups
More Information
This calculation assumes all-purpose flour measured with the spoon-and-level method. Different types of flour or measurement techniques may yield slightly different results.
Tips
A common mistake is to use incorrect weight per cup or round numbers too early. Use precise values for accurate results.
