~1/2 pound
First, note that 1 gram was originally defined to be the weight of one milliliter of ice water, so it is a good approximation of water weight (and mass).
Second we need milliliters of water in a cup:
There are 8 fluid ounces in a cup (that's *fluid* ounces, a measure of volume, not ounces, a measure of weight)
1 US fluid ounces = 29.5735296 milliliters x 8 fl. oz / cup= 236.588237 milliliters in a cup
By the above approximation, 1 cup, therefore, weighs 236.6 grams
236.6 grams = 0.521613712 pounds which equals approximately 1/2 pound.
