Where the figure comes from
The weight on this page is from the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart, which lists chocolate chips as 1 cup = 170 g. Scaled to one US cup of 236.59 ml, that is 170 g. Every other number on the page is that figure multiplied or divided.
grams = cups x 170
cups = grams / 170
For example, 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips is 1.5 x 170 = 255 g, and 300 g is 300 / 170 = 1.76 cups.
