To determine how many cups are equivalent to 238 grams of Miralax, you need to consider the density of Miralax, which is approximately 0.48 grams per milliliter (g/mL). Here's a step-by-step explanation:
1. **Convert Grams to Milliliters**:
- 238 grams ÷ 0.48 g/mL = 495.83 milliliters
2. **Convert Milliliters to Cups**:
- 1 cup is equivalent to 240 milliliters
- 495.83 milliliters ÷ 240 milliliters/cup ≈ 2.07 cups
So, 238 grams of Miralax is approximately 2.07 cups[1].
However, it is also noted in some contexts that 238 grams is roughly equivalent to 1.25 cups[2]. This discrepancy may arise due to rounding or differences in conversion methods used. For more precise measurement, especially for medical purposes, using a kitchen scale is recommended[3].
