1/2 pound to cups

How to Convert Pounds to Cups

Since pounds are a unit of mass and cups are a unit of volume, which are different physical quantities, we need to know one more physical quantity of the ingredient or substance to convert between them.

In this case, we need to account for the density of the substance whenever we do a conversion.

Therefore, to convert between pounds and cups of an ingredient or substance, we must either multiply or divide by its density, depending on which direction we are performing the conversion.

Pounds to Cups Formula

To convert a measurement in pounds to cups, divide the weight by the density of the ingredient or material. Note that in order for this to work, the density must be in pounds per cup (lb/c).

If the density is given in grams per milliliter (g/mL), then first divide 1.9172 by the density to convert to lb/c.

For a density given in g/mL, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cups = pounds × 1.9172 / density

Thus, the volume in cups is equal to the weight in pounds times 1.9172 divided b
