gram is the unit of mass wheras ml or cup is used to measure the volume of liquids
So,you cannot convert gm into ml for solids and for converting liquids or gases from gm into ml or vice versa you must know the density of the liquid or gas

You cannot convert weight into volume (grams are a unit of weight), it is impossible. It would be the same thing as trying to convert inches into pounds. There are no conversions because they do not exist. VOLUME and WEIGHT are two completely different concepts, just as LENGTH and WEIGHT are. Think of it this way, what would weigh more, a cup of lead pellets or a cup of small feathers? In cooking, a cup of butter is 8 ounces, it also weighs approximately 8 ounces, too. But not exactaly!! Recipes can use both volume and weight when dealing with water and butter. However, in large scale recipes that restaurants use, and especialy in baking recipes, this is not a good idea!! You could really mess up a recipe this way. Also, flour varies in density throught the year. Sometimes in the winter, because of the excess moisture in the air, a cup of flour will weigh more than it will in the summer. This can also have a disatourous effects on a recipe. The soultion? Recipes should always have a weight measurement for dry ingriedients. In my opinion, dry ingriedents should NEVER be measured using a measuring cup. This is the way they do it in Euorpean cookbooks. Liquid are always measured in measuring cups (execpt for some baking formulas where it is weighed). What confuses people is that volume and weight have the same unit name (ounces). The morons who invented the English System gave this name to both volume and weight, thus confusing us poor Americans who use this retarded system. I have come accross countless of recipes where dry ingredients are measured in ounces and the recipe fails to mention if it is volume or weight ounces. This is really confusing and frustrating!!!! My suggestion? Go out and buy a nice kitchen scale. They are not that expensive. Hopes this helps.

The Special K box says that there are 31 grams in 1 cup of cereal. This means that 45 grams of cereal equals 43 mL or 1.45 cup.

The easiest way to do this is to put a measuring cup on your scales, adjust to 0, and put cereal in until it weighs 45g. Then read off the volume from the measuring cup.

(Actually, for a more accurate answer, fill a larger container whose volume you know, like a 1L jug, and measure the weight of cereal; then calculate it from there. If you can be bothered!)

I agree with sarkartapas2005. grams is a weight and cups and ml is a volume. I believe this will always be different depending on how heavy the item is your weighing. A cup of cereal will weigh less than a cup of dimes.

If it were 31 g (which I think it might be) for 1 cup of the cereal:

(1cup/31g) * (45g) = 1.45 cups

Since your ratio is (31g/1 cup) then use this to find what you want to find. You want cups, so put grams on the bottom (as I did above) so that the grams cross out when *multiplying leaving you with cups.

45 gallons = 198,219.771 milliliters
45 gallons = 837.825979569 cups
