Question

Please look up the density of all purpose flour, in g/mL. Enter the value, to two decimal places, in the space below but do not include the unit.

I mainly just need to know if the density I got is right, the density I got is 0.53, is this correct? Also with the two decimal place, I would keep it at 0.53 right or round up?

Here is the best I can do. Here is a url showing the weights (they are all over the map) for different flours. h ttps://www.bobsredmill.com/blog/featured-articles/bobs-red-mill-flour-weight-chart/
I don't know if the density of "Organic" All Purpose flour is any different from "regular" all purpose flour or not. I looked in my kitchen to see if I had a bag of all purpose flour. I don't. I don't know what weight you have for 1 cup but the value I found at the above url is 136 grams. Then I used Google to convert from 1 cup volume to mL and I found 236.588 mL. Based on that we have 136 g/236.588 mL = 0.5748 which I would round to 0.575 and to two decimal places it would be 0.58 g/mL. You could make an argument to use 0.57 g/mL since that first round was up to get a 5 to round up a second time. My best suggestion is that you spend some time on the internet looking, as I did, for density of all purpose flour OR for the weight of 1 cup of that flour. If you can find one that is not "organic" I would choose to go with that. A second suggestion is to look on a bag of all purpose flour and see if they have the weight of a cup of that flour. Then knowing the volume of 1 cup you can calculate the density. Go with that number. Good luck !
