If 0.5 cups is 64 grams...
then 1 cup is double that...or 128 grams
g(x) = 128x

I agree with BangkokGarrett. I'd use g(x) = 128c, but that does not matter.

Just curious...what level of math is this?

algebra 1

Oh, okay. I'm in Algebra 1, too, but I haven't done that type of a unit conversion problem, so I just thought I'd ask.
