Best Answer

With water, one pint equals one pound; therefore, a quart of water is two pounds. However, different foods weigh differently. Since "quart" is a unit of volume and "pound" is a unit of weight, there is no reliable conversion between the two without knowing the weight of the food being measured.

Pounds is a weight measure. Quart is a volume measure.

The Pounds of the item in the Quart measure is dependant on what the item is. Rocks will weight more than leaves.
