1 1/2 Cups of Flour in Grams
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour weighs 180 grams (about 6.3 oz), based on 120 g per US cup (spoon-and-level method). That's the same as 24 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. When a recipe's outcome depends on accuracy — especially baking — weigh it instead of measuring by cup.
1 1/2 cups is one full cup plus a half (120 g + 60 g). At this size the fill method starts to matter: the error in each cup is added, not averaged.

No 1 1/2 cups measure? Use spoons
1 1/2 cups is exactly 24 tablespoons, which is 180 g of all-purpose flour. Measuring spoons are stamped to a tighter tolerance than cups, so for small amounts the spoon route is usually the more accurate one even when you do own the cup.
Halving and doubling 1 1/2 cups
Scaling a recipe is the usual reason this conversion comes up, and grams scale cleanly where cup fractions do not:
| Recipe | Cups | Grams | Spoons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half | ¾ cup | 90 g | 12 tablespoons |
| As written | 1 ½ cups | 180 g | 24 tablespoons |
| Double | 3 cups | 360 g | 48 tablespoons |

How to measure 1 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
Spoon flour into the cup with a spoon, then level the top with a straight edge — never scoop the cup into the bag. Scooping compresses flour and can pack in 20–30% more (140 g+ instead of 120 g), which is the single most common reason baked goods turn out dry. Sifted flour runs lighter still, about 110 g per cup.
